Accordingly, Writs of Intrufion began every where to be ferved on People, that after all their Sweat and their Coft upon their formerly purchafed Lands, thought themfelves Free- holders of what they had. And the Gov- ernor caufed the Lands pertaining to thefe and thofe particular Men, to be meafured out for his Creatures to take pofTeffion of; and the Right Owners^ for pulling up the Stakes, have paffed through Moleftations enough to tire all the Patience in the World. They are more than a few,... that were by Terrors driven to take Patents for their Lands at exceffive rates, to fave them from the next that might petition for them : and we fear that the forcing of the People at the Eaftward hereunto, gave too [21 ] too much Rife to the late unhappy Inva- fion made by the Indians on them. Blanck Patents were got ready for the reft of us, to be fold at a Price, that all the Mony and Moveables in the Territory could fcarce have paid. And feveral Tow^ns in the Country had their Commons begg'd by Perfons (even by fome of the Council themfelves) who have been privately en- couraged thereunto, by thofe that fought for Occaiions to impoverifh a Land already Peeled y Meeted out and Trodden down.
