Viz. of March 12 1663|4 and June 29t" 1674 Both which do grant to him in ffee, " All that Island or Islands Commonly called '"' by the several name or names of Matowacks or Long Island, Situate and being towards the West. of Cape Codd, and the " Narrow Higgansettes abutting upon the Main Land Between "the Two rivers there called or known By the several names of " Connecticut and Hudson's River Together also with the said " River Called Hudson's river and all the Land from the West " side of Connecticut River to the East Side of Delaware Bay," and there is nothing in either of those patents (which are all we. ever heard of) that Could give the Least Colour or Ground, for Governour Wentworth's suggestion that the Dukes Grant Commences at the Sea, and runs only sixty miles North into the Country: and was that Grant such as M' Wentworth imagines it to be the North Bounds of it would Cross Hudson's River above 100 miles South of or Below Albany instead of Twenty, as he supposes; for Albany is 150 miles distant from the City of New York, and New York about 20 miles from the Sea.

Upon the whole Sir, We humbly Conceive it is highly necessary that this Representation and Copies of the necessary Papers referred to therein should be laid before the Lords Commissioners for Trade and Plantations that their Lordships may be informed of the objections which we conceive may with good Reason be made to the Line Gouvernour Wentworth points out to be fixed as the Division Line between this and the province of New Hampshire Which Papers together with this Représentation we present to your Honour and humbly pray you will be pleased to transmit the Same to their Lordships.
