Note 124:1 — Chapter IV · NEWGATE AFTER THE GREAT FIRE
Reading edition
Doctor Oates in the next reign was to some extent indemnified for his sufferings. When quite an old man he married a young city heiress with a fortune of £2,000; and a writer who handled this "Salamanca wedding," as it was called, was arrested. Oates was in the receipt of a pension of £300 from the Government when he died in 1705.
