concerning Land for the East India School
November 1, 1624

That if the ground now taken should fall in any such place, where Excep-
tion shalbe taken uppon the form & fencee[s] and the Adventurer will not
otherwise receive content that then the said Adventurers shalbe sattisfyed
by allowance of the like proportion of Land to be given him out of the 120
Acres of Land by the former division appoynted to be laid out for the
publique use, and purposely intended at the first for the like occasions as
at present, to witt for the takinge in of such private p̱sons as not being of
the Hundred might yet be of especial use or advantage therto as this
p̢sent buisiniess is hoped will prove

It was further agreed uppon ye motion of Mr Copeland, Mr Covell and
others that since the intended Dyvision cannott proceed that itt should
not be preiuditiall to the Adventurers that now have or shall hereafter
send people though they sitt downe uppon those places wch by the intended
Division should belong to any other men, but that the houses they build
theron should be [t]heir owne, together with some reasonable p̳portion
of Land here about for gardens, Orchard, &c as the Adventurers hereafter
in a generall Assemblie shall thinke fitt, and that satisfac[t]ion shalbe
respectively made to those who shall finde themselvs agreeved out of the
publique Lands of the Societie
