From the section: Histories

Huntingdon -- My uncle arrived, before supper, with Desborough again, and the Waltons, and James too, all girded with sword, and pistol. My Uncle, with an air of riotous joy, his eyes bright, said, he hath learned of a scheme of the scholars of Cambridge to remove the Plate from the colleges, and transport it north, to the King in York; that one Mr Dowcra hath been given that task, with the connivance of the Master of Clare Hall. My Uncle selected some from the county Trained-Bands, villages of St Ives and Holyfen and Wisbech, and that are now marching to Cambridge.
