as the Earle of Bedford hath lately done and as Collonell Hinderson the Scotchman Governour of Newark grown weary of service endeavours by Letters to some Scotchmen of note in London to make her peace with the Parliament so do you malignant Lords shew her grandeur and greatnesse in humble submission to the Parliament Her be informed of the discovery of a new conspiracy plotted by Sir Basill Br●oke a papist and prisoner in the Kings Bench Read a Jesuite Master Riley Scout-Master Generall of the City and one Violet a malignant Goldsmith who under pretence of peace conf●terated to raise sactions

Members of the Parliament to Oxford in which his Majesty makes great promise of oblivions or forgetfulnesses which he need not do for her know that the King hath too much forgot the Parliament which he would now without fault forgive and therefore doth promise her pardons and creat satisfactions in settling matters of Religion and Liberties and to perswade her to this it is intimated that a factious malignant party hath called in the Scots who are comming to conquer the English For the Welch Mercuries part he had rather that England should be conquered by the S●gts who are Protestants and men of conscience then be conquered by Papists Spaniards French Irish Rebels Digby Cottington the Priests Jesuites Bishops Deans and the Devill and all From Northampton was lately goe out a troop

harbouring of Father B●ltaker the Augustine Fryer formerly executed at Tiburne is now honoured by great Commanders at Oxford indeed most of the Cavalliers are theeves and robbers and therefore they may justly favour whores and theeves that come out of New-gate Oxford is now strangely metamorphosed brazen faced Cavalliers doe lye in Brazen nose Colledge blood thirsty souldiers in Al-souls Commanders in Corpus-Christi Colledge the King and the Queene are students of Christ-Church and the Bishops and Jesuits are their Tutors while there is more massing then dining and supping especialy among the common souldiers But the truth is they have not bin very merry this Christmas for their losses have come very fast upon them and in the Game of war the King hath lost more this Christmas then in halfe a yeare before and how can he shun it when he will not cast out of his pack the knaves of Diamonds or ill counselling Courtiers the knaves of Hearts or the cunning Clergy-men with the

lives and hearts of his Subjects Was heare also that the Newcastle powers that were in Derbyshire are drawing to the North to stop the progresse of the Scots to whom her was beleive that the Irish

Holland are landed they came on VVednesday last to Deal they came as Ambassadours to treat with her Parliament their Message her shall know hereafter for her cannot know their minds till they have delivered it but her is confident they come for good Her will now desire her Countrymen and all Welch Brittaines to look upon her Welch Diurnall which doth represent taking of Townes prisoners pillage bloody onsets and killing of men and thus her Diurnall is a bloody picture of the weekly proceedings of this warre which her wish may end in Peace for her be weary of writing bloody truths and therefore her will now conclude with a merry jest One thing her had almost omitted in her Diurnall and that is Prince Ruperts white dogge pissed one night in his Masters shoe whereupon he was by a counsell of warre condemned but afterwards reprieved againe you shall find it reported in the next AVLICVS for he is an old dogge at such lyes FINIS
