Parliament Acts Aiding Lyme and Weymouth Defenses
A royal order outlines thanks to Lyme and Worcester for defending the town against the enemy. It notes 2000 from Dorset funds, supply of stockings from London, and public prayers with a church collection. Essex relieves Lyme. Weymouth surrenders its garrison with arms and ordnance aboard ship. The West is urged to support Sir William Waller and Western forces to press the campaign.
