The Town of Secota
	Their towns that are not inclosed with poles are commonly fairer 
than such as are inclosed, as appeareth in this figure which lively 
expresseth the town of Secota.  For the houses are scattered here and 
there, and they have gardens, expressed by the letter E, wherein groweth 
tobacco which the inhabitants call uppowoc.  They have also groves 
wherein they take deer, and fields wherein they sow their corn.  In their 
corn fields they build as it were a scaffold whereon they set a cottage like 
to a round chair, signified by F, wherein they place one to watch, for they 
would soon devour all their corn.  For which cause the watchman maketh 
continual cries and noise.  They sow their corn with a certain distance, 
noted by H, otherwise one stalk would choke the growth of another and 
the corn would not come unto his ripeness G, for the leaves thereof are 
large, like unto the leaves of great reeds.  They have also a several broad 
plots C, where they meet with their neighbours to celebrate their chief 
solemn feasts as we have already mentioned above; and a place D where 
after they have ended their feast they make merry together.  Over against 
this place they have a round plot B where they assemble themselves to 
sow pumpkins.  Also a place marked with K wherein they make a fire at 
their solemn feasts, and hard without the town a river L, from whence 
they fetch their water.  These people are void of all covetousness and live 
cheerfully and at their hearts' ease.  They solemnize their feasts in the 
night, and therefore they keep very great fires to avoid darkness and to 
testify their joy.
