March 26

In the name of God, Amen. The forenamed ship being in full readinesse vpon the twentie sise of March, we set saile at Grauesend, being in number seuenteene persons, hauing very faire weather, which continued till the second of Aprill: by that time we were off Portland, then the winde comming westward, with foule weather, we kept sea till the fourth day, then being not able to fetch Plimouth, bore roome for Dartmouth, where wee stayed eleuen dayes, in which time was much foule weather and westerly windes.

The fifteenth day of Aprill, being cleere of Dartmouth, wo were forced the next day to put into Plimouth. The nineteenth day we set saile from thence, and the twentieth, in the morning, we past betweene the Lands end and Silly, with a faire winde. Continuing our course, as in the briefe Table or Journall is set downe, with euery particular from noone to noone, that here I need not make a tedious repetition, nothing worthy of note hapning, but that we had a good passage, and the first land we saw was in Fretum Dauis, on the coast of Groinland, in the latitude of 65° 20′.
