This grant us the Almighty God and Father, for our Lord Jesus Christ and His passion and death's sake! Amen!--I am, for the rest, your well-affectioned King, FRIEDRICH WILHELM (WUSTERHAUSEN, 8th NOVEMBER, 1730)." [Forster, i.
379.] CROWN-PRINCE BEGINS A NEW COURSE.
It was Monday, 6th November, when poor Katte died.

Within a fortnight, on the second Sunday after, there has a Select Commission, Grumkow, Borck, Buddenbrock, with three other Soldiers, and the Privy Councillor Thulmeyer, come out to Custrin: there and then, Sunday, November 19th, [Nicolai, exactest of men, only that Documents were occasionally less accessible in his time, gives (ANEKDOTEN, vi.

187), "Saturday, November 25th," as the day of the Oath; but, no doubt, the later inquirers, Preuss (i.

56) and others, have found him wrong in this small instance.] these Seven, with due solemnity, administer the Oath (terms of Oath conceivable by readers); Friedrich being found ready.

He signs the Oath, as well as audibly swears it: whereupon his sword is restored to him, and his prison-door opened.
