Copenhagen, Octob. 10. The jubilee which the King has
appointed to be solemnized in all his dominions, will begin
the 31st of this month, it being that very day 200 years ago
that Dr. Martin Luther publickly affixed at the church door
of Wittemberg in Saxony, his possessions, impugning the
selling of the Pope's indulgences. . . [2 lines] That
jubilee will be continued for seven days, viz. to the 7th of
November and some regulations have been published for the
celebration thereof, which are as follow: On Sunday the
24th instant the said jubilee is to be proclaimed in this
capital city, the heralds in their coats, with the sound of
trumpets and kettle drums, and in other places of the
Kingdom from the pulpit after divine service. The 30th, all
the bells in his Majesty's dominions are to be rung all the
day; and the 31st the first day of the festival,. . . [14
lines] and are to be received at the door by Bishop Worm,
our metropolitan, the provost of the cathedral, and two
chaplins in their suplices and are to be conducted to their
seats, the trumpets sounding all that while. . . [14 lines]
Saturday the 6th that solemnity will be concluded with
singing of Te Deum, ringing of bells, illuminations fire
works, and other demonstrations of joy. We hear likewise
