News from SMITH THE OXFORD JAYLOR WITH THE Arraignment of Mercurius Aulicus who is sentenced to stand in the Pillory three Market daves for his notorious Libelling against State and Kingdome London Printed for J. B. 1645. Newes from SMITH the OXFORD Iaylor GENTLEMAN CAptaine Smith what newes is this that 's stiring now in Court Smith Newes said you I heare of none to day Gent. I heard an inkling the last night which makes me bold to inquire of you if there were any that 's certaine you would heare it I hope you are not offended Smith Sir you are mistaken in me I am not so soone offended unlesse it be with those Round-heads I have in custody when they never leave bawling at me for bread and water or to have a peeping hole whereby to have the benefit of our Oxford aire yet Heaven knowes I have been so much used to it as I have stopped my eares with a little hard hear ●ednesse and let them call til their Soules fly to another World I thinke I do them a better deed then to releeve them with some small pittance to keep them alive til they have gained their own Liberty But by this meanes I have gained a divilish many of curses both of the Fatherlesse and Widdowes And now I talke of women it brings into my mind some newes I heard last night which is the worst that ever came to Oxford unlesse the bumbasting news which came from Yorke where we were beaten black and blew but I will not tell it you unlesse you will sweare damnably you will not report it againe as from me for t is keept mighty secret as yet it is concerning Mercurius Aulicus that renowned Oxonian though a blasphemous and lying Pamphileteer certainly you know him t is he that writ of the Victories that were obtained against the Round-Heads at Edghill Lands-downe and Taghill Arundell-Castle Charington-downe and Yorke I will whisper this in his behalfe That at neither of these pieces we did not lose above one hundred men for their one man Wherefore I conceive they were very remarkable victories be chose the most remarkable day in all the weeke for the studying of his rewes by reason he could not so aptly studie untruths of no other day then that whereon he should be doing God better service But alas poore Aulicus is utterly ruinated although he had a very significant title of the winged God and Court Messenger for dispersing lyes with such winged speed through the kingdome yet for his ambition in aspiring above his reach he is now with Icarus falne silenc't by Britanicus his body seized and estate and Librarie sequestred to be disposed for charitable uses to the two forrein Princes Rupert and Maurice towards the maintenance of our blood-thirstie plundering Religion to the new Lord Iermyn the Lo Cottington and the Lo Digby and our valiant welch and sore oppressed Cornish souldiers to the end they may stoutly withstand his Maiesties faithful subiects who stand for his Parliament sitting at Westminster not endure that our cursed Hierarchie be brought to predestinated and deserved shame and ignominie Prince Ruperts share in this benevolence shall be payd to his Doctor for the Antidote he gave him to purge his luxurious body and comfort his drooping spirit on the day of York b ttell and two of the pamphlets for him and his brother Maurice which Aulicus writ in praise of their victories to carry with them to Venus shrine in Venice to shew their Ladies of pleasure when they are banished this Kingdome The very abstracted quintessence of all his Mercuries to that politique Head Hisoaniolized Lord Don Diego Cottington whose c●st-downe looks tell us there is some fine Spanish trick hatching to which the whore of Babylon shal be Mother For the new-made Lord. Iermyn here is no game for such Cock-Sparrowes in England he shall have share in the two Crownes on the Frontispiece of Aulicus his Pasquill to beare his charges till he comes to his old Lodging in the Queenes Armes at Paris To the Lo Digby a bird of the same feather all the seditious scandalous matter that ever Aulicus head-piece hammer'd in the Anvill of his owne Coxcombe that he being a great Souldier may act what the others little Head hath invented To the valiant Welch and oppressed Cornish souldlers all the annuall profits which can be made of his estate and Librarie shall be equally shared among them to the end they may have some satisfaction for that Aulicus hath not according to his wonted course in his spurious Libels made their names infamous famous I would have said for the glorious and most renowned Victorie lately obtained against Colonel Browne at Abbington For which negligence the Cornish women have Articled against him and reckoned up all his old Scores arraigning him publiquely at their Tribunall at Brazen-Nose alias Brazen-fac't Hall in Oxford And truly I cannot much blame the poore women for so doing they having beene much abused in this businesse For first their Hu●bands are drawne from them by faire pretences and sugred words that they shall goe no further then their owne Countrey and yet have beene drilled to all the places before mentioned and as for those great Victories they have gained neere their owne Countrey especially that which our demy-God Greenvile obtained the other day against Plymouth and yet never a day of Triumph for it nor ever set forth by Aulicus to their never-dying honour and the comfort of their Wives and Children wherefore they will no longer be thus fool'd as they have beene but make Aulicus exemplarie by bringing him to such condigne punishment as by the definitive sentence and verdict of thiteen Women shall be thought fit feven of which shall be Cornish women and the other six shall come from over the Mountaines in Wales whose 13. husbands were reported by Aulicus in his lying pamphlets to be dead and alive 26 times during the siege of Gloster where we gained another world for almost 2000. of our men we brought thither and many witnesses are now come against him from severall parts of this Kingdome namly from Cornwall Somerset and Oxford-shire For that in Cornwall t is true we had an extraordinary Victory where we got Ordnance and some Ammunition but it was by treachery which made Aulicus lie lowdly for that he set forth it was gained with the losse of not above 100. men Now here comes 200. women into the Court against him that lost their Hu bands in that fight and demanded accompt of the overplus according to their reckoning Author But Courtious Reader what great misse will there be of all the Widdowes and Batchelers that were lost in the fight for doubtlesse they were not all married men for procreation of male Children to searue the King in this vncivill Civill Warre against his best Subjects Smith in Sumerset-sheir and Mendisse we had a great victory there in compelling Colonell Cary to march out of Wels we did but
