Reading edition
Upon the 2nd of September, 1658, £3,700 was ordered to be paid to the merchant adventurers at Hamburgh on behalf of the Polish Protestants.
A petition for assistance by Polish exiles appears under date November 18th, 1658, with the endorsement:—"I know this petition to be true, and know the petitioners to be very deserving, learned, godly persons, members of the Churches for whom the collection was made, as are also some others living with us on our charity, in the same condition with those petitioners. John Owen."
The bundle in the State Paper Office, containing the documents from which we have taken the foregoing particulars, is endorsed, Papers relative to the Protestant Exiles from Poland and Bohemia, &c., 1657, 1658.
