Note 2 — 1690, July 14.

Dixon, in his William Penn (1872 ed., p. 275), is evidently in error in referring to this proclamation as issued on June 24. J. M. Rigg, in his article on Penn in the Dictionary of National Biography, gives the date as July 17, possibly because on one of the two copies of the proclamation in the British Museum someone has written this date, or because it was printed in the London Gazette on that day.
