Another meanes by preservinge and encouraging the other Colonies in power and greatness, to keepe up a divided Interest, in order whereunto the difference betweene the Colonies of Rhode Island and Connecticutt about bounas neere Pequit river, is to be ad- judged to the advantage of Rhode Island, who else will not be able to subsist as a Colonic wanting land upon the maine land, upon which to discharge themselves of the numerous people they breed every yeare, and consequently be lesse able to re...sist falling under the power and Government of the Massachusett Colonye. " This frank statement of purposes carries the key to much in the history of the following century which, otherwise, might not seem clear. It contains the outlines of the policy which kept Rhode Island Colony from being absorbed by its neighbors and brought those suc- cessive decrees of the King in Council, which finally decided, in its favor, the ''Connecticut boundary dispute" awarding King's County to Rhode Island, and again, in 1747 awarded to Rhode Island the "five towns" held by Massachusetts, and thus, at last, established its undisputed jurisdiction on all the main land about Narragansett Kay.
