ABSTRACT
The Crown of England is justly Intitled to all the North West Continent of America, from Newfoundland to the very Cape of Florida. King Henry the Seventh made no doubt that he should acquire to himself as King of England, the dominion title and jurisdiction of all the lands which should be discovered by Sebastian Cabot. And the Kings of England have from time to time asserted this their Right against all Invaders. Some of whom acknowledging the Justice of their Claim removed themselves, and left the Possession to the English as the Rightfull Owners thereof. Conquest can only give a Right to those Nations who invade the Territories of others, and in the Event of War possess themselves of their Lands and Territories by force of Arms. And this of itself is an imperfect Title until made compleat and established by Treaty of Peace.
