An Answer to Mercurius Aulicus OR His Communicated Intelligence from The Court to the rest of the Kingdome Faithfully trased through to undisceiue those who love the truth The forty ninth weeke ending December 9. MErcurius To make us take him for a Courtier stiles himselfe Aulicus that is of the Court but his Actions prooves him an Auleticus that is Good for nothing but to make a Pipe on So that we have his name but by a figure and in stoad of a Messuage which Office he professeth by his lyes Piper like he makes himselfe onely a spot to deceive the Kingdome by his alluring tongue But he forgets or is ashamed to tell us why he lyes in a sheet and a halfe this cold weather But if your Mistris want cloathes give her the tother halfe too Auleticus the Plunderers know very well that you kill more in your sheet than they doe in the Field Auleticus tells us that his Majesty according to his wonted goodnesse did set out a Proclamation Decemb. 1. That if any were found to rob or take away any horse or Cattle or other goods whatsoever ☞ without Authority or that they cannot produce any Authentick passe under the ☟ hand and Seale of the Colonell c. they should be apprehended and tryed by a Counsell of Warre why Auleticus for his Majesties wonted goodnesse we are very sory that the bloudy Cavaliers should abuse it an● keepe his Majesty from us And the very same day that this Proclamation came out the Souldiers of your Armie were much offended and would not be appeased untill by another Proclamation which was granted the very same day it was certified that the Counties of Oxford Berks and Wilts were content rather to pay weekely summes than as they have done hitherto endure the robberies and insolent cruelties of their plundring He cals the two Houses of Parliament ☞ pretended Houses of Lords and Commons whose sitting is confirmed by an Act from his Majesty under the great Seale Auleticus doe you think that we are so mad to disert them to adhere to your Counsells of Priests Fryars and Jesuits what though you thinke these to be a jure Divino we hold the sitting of the Parliament to be according to Law He tells us of differences betweene the two Houses and that the House of Commons would not consent to the House of Lords for Treating with the French Ambassadour But the Piping Mercury playes a false tune both Houses are very ready and willing to Treat with him in a Legall and Honourable way and accordingly have proceeded It was your factious Lords at Oxford that have hitherto laboured to hinder the Treaty for Peace that was so violent to teare the first Propositions for feare that his Majesty and the Parliament should agree The Ambassadour was very angry when he rouzed up Cottington out of the Embers of the Spanish fire He tells us that Colonell Long deserves to be Register of the Chancery because he hath beene a Rebell But Auleticus you are mistaken for though you was made Register to the Prelates at Oxford because you broke out of the Gaole at London yet the reason why Colonell Long is respected is for that hee is a good Protestant and an honest man He tells us a story of the gold Oare that came in the Ginney ship that was taken and enquiry to be made after some malignants that were owners thereof why let me tell you goodman piper this is but dull musicke at Oxford but test your selfe satised we shall imploy it to better purpose then Captaine Cr●spe imployed his tresury But Colonel Massey had like to have called him to account for if his mistris had not shewed him a privat way to fly out at Cicitcr Now in one thing to giue the Piper his due Auleticus speakes trueth That the Earle of Warickae deserues to haue his Commission enlarged because he is so good and loyall But he tels us that the seeking of Reformation hath brought us to visible wants and that a dearth is at hand Iust as Dudly the great Cavalier a comman high-way man sayd of his linnen at his Inne at Saint Albones which he had taken to wrap his stolne plate in O sayth he to his fellow theeues If that bee washed wee are all undone we are all dead men and such a terror doth Reformation strike into the hearts of the lawlesse Caualeers He tels us a large story of some difference betweene the Earle of Denbigh and Colonell Barker and Colonell Purfey But let me tell you Auleticus you are much deceiued in your newes For the Earle of Denbigh and Colonell Barker are unanimously agreed to ioyne with Colonell Purfey And if Prince Rubert march that way they may chance make him leape ouer as many hedges as he did before to make an escape Indeed we heard from Oxford that when the Lord Lowden was called for some sayd it was illegall to use a messenger so as he hath bene which had like to haue caused a mutiny to the purpose and therefore he was sent away to Bristoll where he remaines close prisoner He tells us that his Excellency and Sir William Waller striue for speedy pay and puts us in minde of Newbery and Basing-House Auleticus His Excellency and Sir William Waller doe both scorne to rob the poore Countrey people for want of pay as the Caualeers doe or your Ladies pay in the Campe with the P But honestly godlily and legally And it is upon account what the Caualeers receiued from his Excellency at Newbery who payed them so well that they reported at Oxford they thought th●y had fought against ☞ divels by reason of the fury of his Excellencies valiant Souldiers and had the Westminster men stood to it at Basing Sir William Waller would haue payd himselfe out of the house And he can giue an account of the Lord Salt an and others besides the Amazonians concerning what designe besides what hath happened since concerning which Because Auleticus you say we had some great exspectation of Sir William Wallers future successe concerning which we can giue you an account already of forty prisoners taken at Farnham fight where you and your dead the most of them were kept from our knowledge but the pretended Lord Hopton was in such a fright that he fled for it and his Army after him for which he hath since receiued a checke from Oxford nay more then this there is betweene 7. and 800. with their Colonels Captaines Ensignes and other Officers all saue the Lord Craford and some fewe that narrowly escaped all taken at Alton by Sir william besides 40. slaine there of the Best souldiers Hopton hath oh Auleticus your Organist at Oxford will play this tune very base He tells us that the people are very backward to bee prest in Essex Surrey Kent But this is an impudent lye for in all places they have raised great strength to keepe the Cavaliers out of those parts And yet Auleticus
