 survey, your owne, and other good information; giving all along the reason or cause of the difference betweene the qualities of the same lands, as they are now, and as they were heretofore returned.

Soe that you may, on the backeside of the plotts herewith delivered unto you, marke out the division of the respective lands, and their buildings uppon them, according to the names of the civill survey, placeing thereon the present housing, &c., and alsoe distinguishing the qualities, as you shall now find them by your owne view and observation.
