T H A T so soon as it pleaseth God, that the abovesaid Persons arrive
there, a certain Quantity of Land or Ground Plat, shall be laid out for
a large Town or City, in the most convenient Place upon the River for
Health and Navigation; and every Purchaser and Adventurer, shall by Lot
have so much Land therein as will answer to the Proportion which he hath
bought or taken up upon Rent: But it is to be noted, that the Surveyors
shall consider what Roads or Highways will be necessary to the Cities,
Towns, or thro' the Lands. Great Roads from City to City shall not
contain less than _forty_ Foot in Breadth, and shall be first laid out
and declared to be for Highways, before the Dividend of Acres be laid
out for the Purchaser; and the like Observation to be had for the
Streets in the Towns and Cities, that there may be convenient Roads and
Streets preserved, not to be incroached upon by any Planter or Builder,
that none may build irregularly to the Damage of another. _In this,
Custom governs_.
