The King of Sardinia revoked the privileges he had granted
to the Vaudois, and drove them from their homes. The Emperor
having similarly ill-treated the Protestants of Salzburg
and other places, a peaceful retreat was offered to them in
Prussia and Hanover. (See Van Loon, Suppl. vi. 60, and Spies,
Der Brandenburgischen Historischen Miinzbelustigungen, die.,
Vol. I. p. 217.) Those who received an asylum in Hanover
came from the town of Berchtoldsgaden in Bavaria, and arrived
at their destination in June, 1733. They numbered in all about
780 persons, men, women, and children, and these settled
down at Lauenburg or in the neighbourhood. Assistance was
sent out to them from England, ^consisting of money, books,
and clothes.

William, Prince of Orange, was elected a Knight of the
Garter, 12 June, 1733, and invested at the Hague in the following
month. The legend on the reverse probably refers to his
approaching marriage with the Princess Anne, as being a still
greater honour than that of the Garter.

50. Medal of Matthew Tindall.
MB* Bodley, j?E. • • Very rare.
Matthew Tindall was born in 1657. He was educated
at Oxford, and in 1685 became a Doctor of Laws. After a
brief lapse into Romanism during the reign of James II., he
reverted to Protestantism, or rather, as events showed, to Rationalism.
In 1706 he published “ The Rights of the Christian
Church asserted against the Romish and all other Priests,” &c.,
