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.

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 anâ— 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 Crâ—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 thâ—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
