New-Englands VINDIDATION Shewing the Mis-understanding of the APPREHENSION To take all that vast Countrey under the Notion of a particular place of one Pattent of Boston the Metropolitan of the Machechusets there who in these late Times have Acted as a Free State and Illegal proceeding as by the many Books and Complaints by Petition have caused an Odium on the Countrey in general in vindication to manifest the worth of the Countrey in general it is as hopeful to enlarge His Majesties Dominions as if all the Baltick Seas were Annexed to His Empire By HENRY GARDENER Merchant whose Father was one of the first Adventurers thither and into other parts of America LONDON Printed for the Authour 1660. THE EPISTLE TO THE READER Courteous Reader MY Father with others and Capt. John Mason having lived long in the Oriental parts of the World almost as much Eastwards as New England is Westwards in the same lo●gitude from 42 to 44 degrees at great charges procured sundry Pattents as may appear hoping to fix them and their posterity propagate the Gospel and enlarge His Majesties Dominions where never any Christian inhabited to the vast charges of many 1000 l. as by sundry Books extant besides the Relation of an old Gentleman in them mentioned Mr. Godfrey being well known to have merited of his own Countrey in other parts here and in New-England 27 years in person is manifest hath induced me to write these few lines I find the Countrey no less hopeful to His Majesty then what we did expect but under Notion of one particular Pattent of 30 others now grown great strong and potent by the Times and friends here In these most sad times of distraction the Machechusets of Boston acting as a Free State have by those proceedings cast an Odium on all that vast Countrey not onely to be despicable unprofitable and matters of other consequence I thought good to shew so much His Majesties Title to the Countrey by some Collections I have seen from New-found-land to Cape Florida which were well to be published with the Mapps and Cards till when this may suffice to shew the unjust proceedings of the said Gentleman of the Colony of Boston against the said Gentleman and those of the Eastern parts who were not all of their tenents but ever acted according to His Majesties Lawes in taking the Oath of Allegiance and Supremacy they being of a contrary opinion and Mr. Hugh Peters and other their Agents made use of their times here 1652. subjugated all the Eastern parts and put the Oath of Fidelity to the State without any Relation to England to the ruine of some Families I wish every man may have his Right and His Majesty his Right Interest which is all my aime and endeavour It were good the Mapps and Cards to be Printed were spherically drawn each Pattent to be bounded and their acknowledgements looked unto what not granted nor Conditions performed if His Majesty would Grant Customers would not be wanting and a Revenue to His Majesty raised which will cause Peace and Quiet to the Countrey and security of His Majesties Interest To Answer such as say His Majesty KING CHARLES has no Title to that vast Empire from New-found-land to Cape-Florida some such there be others no King but Christ others Libertines to do what is good in their own eyes some Israelites the rest Egyptians AGainst all His Majesties Right in those parts is 1. By Discovery from Henry the 7th time by Sebastian Cabott for which he had a Pention of 200 Marks per annum 2. By Possession of Sir Humphrey Gilbert Sir Richard Greenfield Sir Walter Rawley in Queen Elizabeths time named Virginia After whose death King James of ever blessed memory peace being concluded many Sea-men and Souldiers went to serve other Princes others on Discoveries as the North-West passage c some fell with the Coast of New-England and brought home some of the Natives About 1644. So my Lord Popham and others procured Pattents for two Colonies to be settled in those parts one by the Name of Virginia the other of New-England Then my Lord Popham and others sent to inhabite New-England 1607 and settled a Colony at Saquadahock the Ruines and fruit Trees remain to this day but he dying all fell Then divers Fishermen went onely to fish and one Hunt at the end of his Voyage in the Long-Robert betrayed 22 of the Natives aboard his Ship carried them for Spain to sell them for Slaves an ill Act they would not work the Spaniard refused them some of them brought for England Hunt taken by the Turks coming home By reason of these salvages another Atchievement was made 1614 but it came to nothing Sir Richard Hawkins went in Ship of his own 1615 the Garland to make a Fishing-Voyage and Discovery made a good Voyage but no Discovery His Majesty granted Letters Pattents to the Council of Plymouth 1619 and after confirmed by Pattents of Incorporation to certain Lords 1620 but great troubles arose in Parliament that it was a Monopoly of which and other passages I shall treat hereafter at large Then the said Council granted sundry Pattents as to Capt.

Russel Mr. Jo. Wynthrope and divers others as may appear by Authority whereof and persons of so great Eminency and Quality going and Books of Incouragement dispersed over all England they proceeded so well and effectually that seven Ships were provided at the Couses and Hampton and those parts with all sorts of Provisions fit to settle a New Colony in a New Country divers good and godly people went but divers under the Umbrella of Religion in regard of the largeness of their Pattent which was three Miles South of Charles River three Miles North East of Merimack and fifty Miles by Sea shore 1629. Bounded by themselves named it the Bound-House yet to be seen their Pattent had large Limits and Priviledges by Incorporation as Custom free for seven years which other Pattents had not yet they were tyed not to act contrary to the Laws or any way repugnant to England other Acknowledgments as may appear Men of great
