They generally all take {Tobacco}; and it is commonly the only plant which men labour in; the women managing all the rest: they say they take {Tobacco} for two causes; first, against the rheume, which cavseth the toothake, which they are impatient of: secondly, to revive and refresh them, they drinking nothing but water.

Whomsoever commeth in when they are eating, they offer them to eat of that which they have though but little enough prepar'd for themselves. If any provision of {fish} or {flesh} come in, they make their neighbours partakers with them.

If any stranger come in, they presently give him to eate of what they have; many a time, and at all times of the night (as I have fallen in travell upon their houses) when nothing hath been ready, have themselves and their wives, risen to prepare me some refreshing.
