Besides as " in the monethes of June, July, August, and Sep- *' tember, the heate is somewhat more then in England at those seasons: so men remaining vpon the South parts neere vnto Cape Rece^ " vntii after Hollandtide, haue not found the cold " so extreme, nor much differing from the tempe- " rature of England. Those which have arriued *' there after Nouember and December haue found " the snow exceeding deepe, whereat no maruaile, " considering the ground upon the coast, is rough " and vneuen, and the snow is driuen into the " places most declyning, as the like is to be scene " with vs. The like depth of snow happily shall "â not be found within land vpon the playner coun- " tries, which also are defended by the mountaines, " breaking off the violence of the winds and " weather. But admitting extraordinary cold in those South parts, aboue that with us here: it cannot be so great as that in Swedland, much " less, in Muscouia or Russia; yet are the sfirov^ countries very populous, and the rigor of cold is dispensed with by the commoditie of Stoues, warme clothing, meats and drinkes: all which " neede not to be wanting in the Newfoundland, " if we had intent there to inhabite.
