But inasmuch as the Company has, by its conceded Freedoms, promised to take all Colonists, as well freemen as servants, under its protection, and to aid in defending them against all foreign and domestic wars; and as the improvement of affairs by good orders from here, and better government there, is not altogether hopeless ; so that this place may be preserved, in the first instance, with small profits, or at least without loss; we are, therefore, of opinion, under correction, that the Company cannot decently or consistently abandon it. With a view to come at such orders and redress, we submit to the Honorable Assembly the following points : -- Boundary. First the bouudary : An agreement ought speedily, and first of all, be made with the English hereupon, as it is found that, in consequence of their great population, they daily encroach more and more on our territory. That being fixed, it ought to be conditioned, that the English who may find themselves within our district, or should desire to come into it, shall be amenable to our government and acknowledged only as original subjects. Reconciliation «ith Secondly: the country ought, in every respect, be again reduced to peace and thBindmns. quietness, and the advice of the present Director, utterly to exterminate all

enemies by by no means, adopted force, be, not only because it is impossible and ;

unchristianlike so to do, but it would not be advantageous to the Company to incur so great an expense as it requires on so uncertain a result and so small an appearance of profit. And, therefore, they should not deem it impolitic to adopt the advice of the Commonalty, and to endeavor, by all possible means, to conciliate and to satisfy the Indians by recalling tlie Director and Council, who are responsible for that bloody proceeding of the 2S"' February, 1643, that they may justify and vindicate their government before the Hon*"'* Assembly of the XIX., in whose stead a person ought to be sent thither as Director, endowed with sufficient qualities to promote, on the one side, the interests of the Company and the welfare of the Commonalty, and to maintain, on the other, good correspondence with the neighboring people, and especially with the Indians.
