Narrative:

Departed owd on an IFR flight plan to lns. Departure instructions turn left to heading 310 degrees maintain 2000 ft. Departed off runway 35. Contacted boston departure -- heading 310 maintaining 2000. Boston departure advised radar contact maintain 2000 turn left 270 traffic 12 O'clock 5 mi 2100 ft. We pick up the traffic about 2 seconds later at 12 O'clock and at our altitude. We turned right to about 310 to avoid the traffic. Without the turn we would have missed by only minimum ft. Boston knew the VFR was there, yet they turned us into the traffic. Not a very smart move. Heads up and outside is still the best defense in very busy areas like boston.
