ON Friday, the ninth of September, upon notice of great forces coming to Oxford there was a resolution in the meeting of the Heads of Houses, to lay down all arms, and to sand a Letter to the Lord Say, who was in the way with them at Alesbury, as it was reported, which Letter met great Forces at Alesbury, but not the Lord Say.

That night they preached New-Colledge, where they found some arms and took them away.  
On Thursday they preached Christ-Chu●ch, and found nothing, not in the Treasury itself, which was broken open but at night, upon some information, they found under ground, covered with a pile of Wood some arms, and the college Plate, which was all taken away, with intent, as it is said, to preserve the Plate for the future use of the college.
