Summary

The High Sheriff, nobility and gentry of the county of Cambridge signed an Address to the Prince of Orange, imploring his protection and aid to rescue the three kingdoms from slavery and Popery, and assuring him that they would contribute their utmost endeavours in perfecting so glorious a work. They also returned his Highness unfeigned thanks for the progress he had made therein with great cost, labour, and hazard both by sea and land.
