The Proprietors in the said ground do propose to all such of the English and Dutch Nation as are willing to build upon the said Ground so Staked out, that they shall have and enjoy the same upon these Conditions following:

For each foot in front for that ground which fronts the Key, 2 s. 6 d. per annum.

For each foot in front which fronts the New street, with the Back-side towards the Key, 2 s. per an.

For each foot in front on the other side the New street, 1 s. 8 d. per an.

Note, Every foot in front, hath 100 foot in depth allowed to the same; and that any Undertaker may have what front may best suit with his occasions.

The Proprietors of the Ground are contented to Lease out the same for 40 years, or five Lives; and if allowance be made, for any longer term, or larger estate therein. The first year they are to enjoy the same Rent-free.

The advantage of laying out money in Building in this place, is very great; houses, after the rate as they yeild in Great Yarmouth, yeilding 12 per cent.

Materials in this place are very reasonable; as Bricks at 10 s. a thousand made upon the place: Lyme is also ade there: Oaken Timber is brought down the three Rivers very reasonable: Fir-timber and Deal ••••ught in very reasonable, being opposite to Denmark; ships going daily from this Harbour thither.

This place is convenient for all sorts of Merchants, Trades-men, Fisher-men, Ship-Carpenters, &c. and for all other Trades and Imployments belonging to Maritime Affairs.

The Proprietors do further propose, to set out a convenient piece of Ground for the Building a Dutch Church; as also convenient Market-places.

Any person may receive further satisfaction, as to these Proposals, if he repair to Mr. Baldrow. Stati∣oner in Miter-Court in the passage to the Temple; or at Jo. Painters Coffee-house in Cornhill, or of Mr. Watts in Yarmouth.
