William Penn was the owner of what he called Pennsylvania, Penn's woods. He wanted to attract settlers to his colony so he invited them to transport themselves. He described it as a great land, nearer to the Sun than England. He praised the soil, the air and water that with God's Grace and honesty of man would be a fruitful land. Then he spoke about the Constitution that Pennsylvania would have and the description of the people he wanted for the land, those who wanted to buy, those who wanted to rent and the servants.
