 | | Thus William Veitch travelled from place to place; sometimes at London, sometimes at Nottingham, Chester, Lancaster, sometimes in Northumberland, especially in Redesdale; till the year 1671, when he was persuaded to bring his wife and family to that county; which he did, and settled for some time within the parish of Rothbury. |
 | | But no sooner was he settled here, though in a moorish place, than the Popish gang stirred up enemies against him on account of his little meeting; which obliged him to remove five miles farther up the country, to a place called Alnham-hall, where many out of curiosity frequented his preaching. |
 | | But the matter taking air, he was obliged to hide himself near Redesdale Head, even from his very friends, till the season of appearing came, when he narrowly escaped being taken, while hid on Carter Fell, covered with only heather, Colonel Struthers and Meldrum’s troop being out in quest of him and others. |
