John Cotton, God’s Promise to His Plantation (1630)
“God makes room for a people in three ways:
First, when He casts out the enemies of a people before them by lawful war with inhabitants.
Second, when He gives a foreign people favor in the eyes of any native people to come to sit down with them either by way
of purchase […] or else when they give it in courtesy, as Pharaoh did the land of Goshen unto the sons of Jacob.
Thirdly, when He makes a country though not altogether void of inhabitants, yet void in the place where they reside. Where there is a vacant place, there is liberty for the sons of Adam or Noah to come and inhabit, though they neither buy it nor ask their leaves”
