They were also promised the lease of a farm, fit for the plough, for six years, with a dwelling house, a barn, four horses and four cows.

They were to pay a rent for these six years, of forty dollars a year, and eighty pounds of butter.
At the expiration of the six years the tenants were to restore the number of cattle they had received, retaining the increase.

They were also assisted with clothing, provisions, etc., on credit, at an advance of fifty per cent.

But notwithstanding the rapid increase of the Dutch settlements, thus secured, the English settlements were increasing with still greater rapidity.
