It  chaunced  very  lately  that  vpon  occafion  I  had  great  conference 
in  matters  of  Coftnographie  with  an  excellent  learned  man  of 
Porcingale^moft  priuie  to  all  the  difeoueries  ofhis  nation,  who 
wondered  that  thole  bleflfed  countries,from  thepoint  ofFlori-

tefting  with  great  affe&ion  and2eale,thatif  hee  werenoweas

habiting  oftho  fe  countries,  and  reducing  thofe gentile  people 
to  chriftianitie.  Moreouer  hee  added  that  lohn  Barros  their 
chiefe  Cofmographer  being  moued  with  the  like  deiire, was  the 
canfe  that  Brefilia  was  Brfl  inhabited  by  the  Portingales:  where 
they  haue  nine  baronies  or  lordlhips,&  thirtic  engennies  or  fu-

but  alfo  in  the  prefence  of  a  friend  ofmine,  a  man  ofgreat  fkill  in

might  not  only  for  theprefent  time  takepoffefsion  of  that  good
