  A brief description of New-York, formerly called New-Netherlands with the places thereunto adjoyning : together with the manner of its scituation, fertility of the soyle, healthfulness of the climate, and the commodities thence produced : also some directions and advice to such as shall go thither ... : likewise a brief relation of the customs of the Indians there / by Daniel Denton.

summary:
  Thus have I briefly given you a Relation of New-York , with the places thereunto ad●oyning ; In which , if I have err'd , it is principally in not giving it its due commendation ; for besides those earthly blessings where it is stor'd , Heaven hath not been wanting to open his Treasure , in sending down seasonable showres upon the Earth , blessing it with a sweet and pleasant Air , and a Continuation of such Influences as tend to the Health both of Man and Beast : and the Climate hath such an affinity with that of England , that it breeds ordinarily no alteration to those which remove thither ; that the name of seasoning , which is common to some other Countreys hath never there been known ; That I may say , and say truly , that if there be any terrestrial happiness to be had by people of all ranks , especially of an inferior rank , it must certainly be here : here any one may furnish himself with land , and live rent-free , yea , with such a quantity of land , that he may weary himself with walking over his fields of Corn , and all so●ts of Gr●in and ●et his stock of Cattel amount to some hundreds , he needs not fear their want of pasture in the Summer , or Fodder in the Winter , the Woods affording sufficient supply . Delewerhay the mouth of the River , lyeth about the Mid-way betwixt New-Y●●k and the Capes of Virginia : It is a very pleasant River and Countrey , but very few inhabitants , and them being mostly Swedes , Dutch and Finns : about sixty miles up the River is the principal Town called N●w-Castle , which is about 40 miles from Mary-land , and very good way to travel , either with horse or foot , the people are setled all along the west side sixty miles above New-Castle ; the land is good for all sorts of English grain , and wanteth nothing but a good people to populate it , it being capable of entertaining many hundred fami●ies .

  A discourse written by Sir George Downing, the King of Great Britain's envoy extraordinary to the states of the United Provinces vindicating his royal master from the insolencies of a scandalous libel, printed under the title of (An extract out of the register of the States General of the United Provinces, upon the memorial of Sir George Downing, envoy, &c.), and delivered by the agent De Hyde for such to several publick ministers : whereas no such resolution was ever communicated to the said envoy, nor any answer returned at all by their lordships to the said memorial : whereunto is added a relation of some former and later proceedings of the Hollanders / by a meaner hand.

summary:
  We read also in the Reign of the said King , in the preferring a certain Bill in Parliament ( which is the voice of the State of the Realm ) that he was usually accounted King or Soveraign of the Seas by all Nations ; written in French , and thus translated into English : The Nation of the English were ever in the Ages past , renowned for Sea-Affairs in all Countries near the Seas : and they had also so numerous a Navy , that the people of all Countreys esteemed and called the King of Edgland , the King or Soveraign of the Sea. Another Testimony to the same effect we read in the Parliamentary Records of Henry the fifth , where the tenour of the Bill runs after this manner : The Commons do pray , That seeing our Soveraign Lord the King , and his illustrious Progenitors , have ever been Lords of the Sea ; and now seeing through God's grace it is now come to pass , that our Lord the King is Lord of the shores on both sides the Sea , such a Tribute may be imposed on all Strangers passing through the said Sea , for the benefit and advantage of our said Lord the King , as may seem agreeable to Reason for the safeguard of the said Sea. The Hollanders are industrious , and no sooner are discharged of their lading , but presently put forth for more ; whereas our English , after they have been once at Sea , do commonly never return again , till their money taken for their fish be spent , and they in debt .
