In 1613 he published Purchas, his See also:Pilgrimage; or, Relations of the See also:World and the Religions observed in all Ages (4th ed. much enlarged, 1626); in 1619 Purchas, his See also:Pilgrim.

The See also:fourth edition of the Pilgrimage is usually catalogued as vol. v. of the Pilgrimes, but the two works are essentially distinct.
