Samuel Purchas, a friend of Hakluyt, based a large part of his work on Hakluyt's unpublished papers. Purchas was additionally an Anglican priest, and alongside the sweeping survey of world exploration, his work is also notable for its anti-Catholic sentiment, and its attempts to justify British colonization of indigenous North American nations.
