[E.B. O'Callaghan (ed.) (1856)] Not content with that, the said English have formed on Long Island, two little villages, called Southold and Southampton, although their High Mightinesses' subjects had long before taken possesion of that island, and founded thereon divers towns and hamlets, with many bouweries and plantations. Tliese villages and hamlets are named Amersfoort, Vlissingen, Heemstede, Gravesande, Breuckelen, Mispaecht and Gauwanes, &c., so that Long Island rightfully belongs, both by first purchase, possession and ancient resort, to the Dutch nation and not to the English. In order then to establish a good, firm and irrefragable boundary with our neighbors, the English of New England; and as their High Mightinesses' subjects will not be able to retain pretended jurisdiction over the lands aforesaid; and in order to somewhat gratify, as far as is possible and reasonable, the neighbors of New England, so as to live in future with them, in North America, in peace and good neighborhood, I subjoin some suggestions respecting the division of the boundary in that country. First : I insist that the boundary of New Netherland along the sea coast, should be calculated from the South bay, beginning at Cape Hindlopen, and including the South river, unto Godyn's point, being the South hook of the North bay, or beginning of the North river, extending from said North bay 30 leagues southward along the coast unto Cape Hindlopen.
