is so audacious as to say that they doe kill and hang those that will not goe along with them Indeed your owne field Martiall Hopton sent out such a Warrant which cost some of the poore men their lives which for that purpose were driven before them to Arundell house He tells us of some disagreement about the Recruâ—ing of his Excellencies Army Auleticus his Excellency intends to leave a Garrison at Newport Pannell and to secure those parts where he is with sufficient strength and you are like to heare from him before the Lord Craford in the West or the Earle of Newcastle in the North or your bloudy Generall Prince Rupert be Recruted whose dead pay and plunder have ☞ conveyed away too much plate and Jewells beyond Sea ☞ A strange way to Recrute the Palatinate On Thursday morning the first of all falls a railing against Captaine Terrell Master Greenevill Captaine Phips and Captaine Pollerd in Buckinghamshire and to no purpose at all but like the Prelates in their private Conventicle at Oxford resolve upon the Busines that it must of necessity be taught in all pulpits that the Parliament and all good Protestants ☞ must be rayled against by reproaches or else Popery will never be established And for the Excise you tell us of Auleticus you see what a just and equall way the Parliament take for money He tells us that the Chilterne parts have raised Forces to defend the Countrey from both parts He meanes the Papists and Prelates For when Prince Rupert sent privately into that Cuntrey he had an answer to the purpose and the very women and maides being sensible of their wickednes in places where they come will rather fight themselves to the last drop of bloud in their body than to expose themselves to be Ravished and spoiled by the Cavaliers And Auleticus relates as very a peece of non-sence for Newes as ever was written That some of the Earle of Essex Forces all or most part of them Dutch Walloones and French in Hartfordshire are a scourge to those parts Well Auleticus we grant there is Forreigners in his Excellencies Army but they are Protestants there is no Taffes nor Oneales nor La Vives nor Seignior Corges that ☞ bring their Commission from Rome with them with a promise to be Canonized for Saints by acting for the continuing of these warres as one writ from beyond Sea to the Lord Digby that if the King hearkened to a peace all their plâ—â—â— were spoyled He tells us that about Chesham they are very weary of the Earle of Essex because they are forced to bring his Souldiers in so much provision No Auleticus you play false musick they have sent the Army a Letter of thankes for preserving them from being plundered by Prince Rupert and are very desirous that his Excellency would not leave them without sufficient Garrisons to keepe out the Cavaliers and whereas you tell us that the trained bands are ready to leave Sir William Waller you are much deceived for they have given a testimony to the contrary at Alton where their valour deserves a Trophy of perpetuall praise and other Trained Bands are ready to relieve them as themselves to be refresht but I doubt not but Sir Edward Deering hath told his tale at Oxford by this and how much the Cavaliers under Hopton are out of heart Auleticus makes himselfe musick with the fancy of a great Victory at Howarden Castle in Cheshire which is a place where Sir William Brereton had beene with some of his Army but since so many came out of Ireland he left it as nothing at all advantagious unto him and Colonell Earnley hath since possessed himselfe of it yet Auleticus tells us they tooke 2 Drakes sure it was some Duckes swimming in the pond and he saith the Cavaliers tooke 100 Armes he meanes 100 Irish women in their armes he speakes much by figures especially the middle to be sub intelligitur And then he tells us of more comming from Ireland the more is the pitie for by this meanes the Protestants there are used with the more cruelty the Papists increase in strength that the Kingdom is in the more danger to be surprized by the ☞ Spaniard and further we are in England from peace He tels us a story of an house that was fired at Kingstone in Surry Auleticus you might have held your toung there for shame for whereas there was a Parry in these parts which were absolute Caueleeres that lay gaping for some rebells to raise them an head but saw little hopes to find it because the country was raising of forces to keepe out the Cavaleers and seeing themselves in some danger began to muteny rob and plunder endevoured to have fired the Towne and so to fly away but some of them are taken and in Prison and the rest I fled to Oxford Saturday he begins with lamentation for Prince Maurice his losse at Plimouth yet to daub up the matter he reckons up many slaine amongst which 3. Commanders but they were beaten off that they could not know what execution they had done Auleticus you will tell a pretty tale a non Colonell Gold you say is shot through the arme and keepes his bed why what a bundle of Bulles his here Auleticus indeede you tell us you have threescore Oxen and Kine and as many sheepe and they are all Buls you tell us you tooke a Genteleman and a Colonell prisoners and caried your Prisoners a way and left them in Plimouth that is you would haue had them to haue giuen themselues up to haue beene your prisoners and they would not but stayed still in Plimouth But you tell us that Prince Maurice was not in the siedge where was he thinke you in Limbo Patrem or Infantum if he be dead tell us plainely that we may talke no more of him and yet now I thinke of it you are charged to the â—â—ntrary and must be the Court Mercury no more if you say so He tels us of Maistet Pims death as remarkable newes and how he was impeached of Treason and that he died of the Herodian visitation and that hee was a most loathsome and foule Carcasse Auleticus M. Pim is dead but his fame liues and will in despite of thee and all the Caualeers and Papists of the Kingdome he is ascended too high for thee to hurt him and for that scandalous aspertion which thou hast layd upon him many hundreds who were eye witnesses doe testifie that he was a very cleere and unspotted Corpes hauing nothing loathsome upon his body from head to foote but as faire a Course as the beholders euer saw It is onely our losse that he is dead and yet the Lord hath left us many more Pims many more godly Patriots to stand for God and his Cause And whereas you tell us of the death of the Lord Brookes and Maister Hampden they died in their appointed time full of the Holy Ghost with God in their mouthes and Christ in their hearts Freely powring our their soules to God Not like the Earle of Northampton and other Caualeers cursing and swearing with their last breath Thesr indeed are fearefull things and to be considered And for Sire Iohn Hotham and his Sonne and Colonell Fines leaue them to their Tryall they will find Law with us though you haue neither Law nor Gospell saue onely your Ladies Oracles In the last place he falls a rayling agianst the Parliament and calls them the Rebells of Westminster and would traduce the City to have an hard opinion of the Scots Auleticus I would advise thee to come to Bedlam and let thy pipes be new mended least thou grow starke mad and incurable through the extremity of thy distracted braine the more thou raylest against the Parliament the more thou bewrayest thine owne impudency and the more hatefull thou art in the eyes of all Protestants And for the comming of the Scots you have just piped a lesson of the divells owne making First to make the people you have seduced to presume they would not come and now to bring them to a desperate opinion against them to expect nothing but ruine wheras it is most apparent that you and your popish Lords Priests Fryars and Iesuits and the advancement of your persons in your Ladies Favours to the undermining of the 〈…〉 and the ruine of King and People and have been the cause of all our misery But for all your malice we doubt not but that this happy Union will be confirmed and 〈◊〉 between us and our brethren of â—â—â—â—land to perpetuall Generations Printed for W.
