The town of Newcastle received Lord Lumley, and declared for the prince of Orange and a free parliament.

The duke of Norfolk, lord lieutenant of the county of that name, engaged it in the same measure.

The prince's declaration was read at Oxford by the duke of Ormond, and was received with great applause by that loyal university, who also made an offer of their plate to the prince.

Every day some person of quality or distinction, and among the rest the duke of Somerset, went over to the enemy.

A violent declaration was dispersed in the prince's name, but without his participation; in which every one was commanded to seize and punish all Papists, who, contrary to law, pretended either to carry arms or exercise any act of authority.
