| A plaine path-way to plantations : that is, A discourse in generall, concerning the plantation of our English people in other countries. Wherein is declared, that the attempts or actions, in themselves are very good and laudable, necessary also for our country of England. Doubts thereabout are answered: and some meanes are shewed, by which the same may, in better sort then hitherto, be prosecuted and effected. Written for the preswading and stirring up of the people of this land, chiefly the poorer and common sort to affect and effect these attempts better then yet they doe. With certaine motives for a present plantation in New-foundland aboue the rest. Made in the manner of a conference, and divided into three parts, for the more plainnesse, ease, and delight to the reader - Eburne, Richard
