NO nation in amity with England could settle within those bounds without a breach of amity between them. The Dutch took advantage Of the internal dis orders and the civil war in England to establish themselves in the country claimed by the Crown of England, and the English certainly were in the right to reclaim this country as soon as the public tranquillity permitted them to do it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
