of Pennsylvania; A Proclamation.

near three hundred men in arms, in a warlike manner entred
the county of Lancaster in this province, and on Sunday the

advanced to the plantation late of John Hendricks on the
west side of the Sasquehannah, . . . with intent, as 'tis

inhabitants of that county, of their possessions, and to awe
and terrify others into an acknowledgment of the dominion
and jurisdiction of the Lord Proprietor of Maryland, over
those parts of the county, lying upwards of twenty miles to
the northward of the east and west line, . . .
