If any man desire a more ample relation of the state of this country, before such time as this present Relation taketh place, I refer them to the two former printed books; the one published by the President and Council for New England, and the other gathered by the inhabitants of this present Plantation at Plymouth in New England.[127]

About This Book
A participant in the early settlement provides a firsthand account of survival, providential deliverances, and the community’s progression from precarious beginnings to a fortified, provisioned plantation. The narrative reports interactions with neighboring Indigenous peoples, summarizes observed religious and civil customs, and offers advice to backers about governance, settler selection, and moral dangers that can undermine colonies. It also includes practical observations on local resources and commodities and a brief report on conditions in a nearby colony. The overall tone mixes factual reportage, admonition to supporters, and reflections on divine providence.
