ABSTRACT
It is fitting that your majesty should try to master that land very soon, if only for the reason that it is a country so large and in such a good latitude that if some other nations go to settle it, forming a friendship, as they will, with the local Indians, it will, thereafter, be most difficult to conquer and rule it, especially should the French and English settle it, as they are Lutheran peoples, and, because they and the Indians are nearly of the one faith, as I have said, they will very easily make friends with one another.
