Henry Whistler's Journal,1655
"But it may be objected that it is too cold a country for our English men,who have been accustomed to a warmer climate.To which it may be answered ... ,there is wood good store and better cheap to build warm houses and make good fires,which makes the winter less tedious....[W]hereas many do disparage the land,saying a man cannot live without labor,in that they more disparage and discredit themselves in giving the world occasion to take notice of their dronish disposition that would live off the sweat of another man's brows.Surely they were much deceived,or else ill informed,that ventured thither in hope to live in plenty and idleness....For all in New England must be workers of some kind....And howsoever they are accounted poor,they are well contented and look not so much at abundance as at competency."
