Yet I findno one Instance in which the Crown has so much as Described the Government by any Particular Bounds much less abridged or confined it to any Narrower Limitts than it had at the time it Belonged to the Duke of York so far from that, that the Crown has all along and continue Even to this day, to appoint Governours of this province without Describing it by any bounds whatever; which seems plainly to shew that the Crown considered the Bounds of this Government as being sufficiently ascertained by the Grant to the Duke of York; and Intended the Limitts and bounds of' it should be the same it was in the Duke's time, but should the Construction Contended for by them take place ; it must suppose that the Crown Intended by the Grant to them, to Convey part of this Government to them when at the same time it Intended that this Government should have the same Limitts and bounds as it had in the Time of the Duke of York which as I said before, I think is very absurd; and must further make it appear that the construction of their Charter as contended for, by them ; Cannot be what the Crown Intended by it; and must on the other hand shew, that what I contend for, must be right, because by such Construction those absurdities are avoided. . I know it will be objected to this, that King James the first in the 18 year of his Reign did Grant the land in Question with them unto the Council Established at Plymouth in the County of Devon for the Planting Ruling ordering and Governing of - New England in America ; and to their Successors and assigns and That that Council in the third year of King Charles the first, Granted to Sir Henry Roswell Sir John Young Knight, Thomas Southeott & others their asigns and their associates for ever, vizt. 'All that part of New England in America aforesaid
