O favourable was thy most
renowned and memorable
Brother, Prince Henry, to all
generous designs; that in mine
discovery of Virginia, I presumed to call two nameless
Headlands after my Sovereign's heirs, Cape Henry, and Cape Charles. Since
then, it being mine chance to range some other
parts of America, whereof I here present thy
Highness the description in a Map; my humble suit is, thou wouldst please to change their barbarous names for such English as posterity may
say Prince Charles was their Godfather. What here
in this relation I promise my country, let me live or die the slave of scorn & infamy if (having means) I make it not apparent; please God to
bless me but from such accidents as are beyond my
power and reason to prevent. For my labours, I desire but such conditions as were promised me out of the gains; and that thy Highness
would deign to grace this Work
