as the Foot-Guards us'd to do with the Trulls in Salisbury-Court.

Next we shall treat of the Land hereabouts, which is a Marl as red as Blood,
and will lather like Soap. The Town stands on this Land,
which holds considerably farther in the Country, and is in my Opinion,
so durable that no Labour of Man, in one or two Ages, could make it poor.
I have formerly seen the like in Leicestershire, bordering upon Rutland.
Here were Corn-Stalks in their Fields as thick as the Small of a Man's Leg,
and they are ordinarily to be seen.

We lay with these Indians one Night, there being by my Bed-side
one of the largest Iron Pots I had ever seen in America,
which I much wondred at, because I thought there might be no navigable Stream
near that Place. I ask'd them, where they got that Pot?
They laugh'd at my Demand, and would give me no Answer, which makes me guess
it came from some Wreck, and that we were nearer the Ocean,
or some great River, than I thought.

The next day about Noon, we accidentally met with a Southward Indian,
amongst those that us'd to trade backwards and forwards,
and spoke a little English, whom we hir'd to go with us
to the Esaw Indians, a very large Nation containing many thousand People.
In the Afternoon we set forward, taking our Leaves of the Wisack Indians,
and leaving them some Trifles. On our Way, we met with
several Towns of Indians, each Town having its Theater or State House,
such Houses being found all along the Road, till you come to Sapona,
and then no more of those Buildings, it being about 170 Miles.
We reach'd 10 Miles this day, lying at another Town of the Wisacks.
The Man of the House offer'd us Skins to sell, but they were too heavy Burdens
