Mercurius Pragmaticus.
{Part 2.
Nu. 14.}
(For King Charls II.)
Communicating Intelligence from all Parts
touching all Affaires, Designes, Humors, and
Conditions throughout the Kingdome.
Especially from Westminster, and the Head Quarters.
From Tuesday July 17 to Tuesday July 24. 1649.
See how they darken O're the Skies,
with Clouds of Hellish-Actions;
And Pest the Aire with Blasphemies,
which Breath from Plaguy-Factions,
Observe how Stoutly they defie
All Order, but their Owne
As if they'd pull the Deity,
From His Caelestiall Throane,
Marke how they Trample on the Crownes
of Soveraigne Kings, and Powers:
As if ordain'd for none but Clownes,
Pimps, Panders, Rogues, and Whores.
Thus Triumph they, But then, behold!
The Wheele Begins to turne.
Up goes their Heeles, downe falls their Gold,
Blest bee first gets an Urne.
---Nemo me impunè Iacessie.
OF All Occupatiens, I see that of King-Killing is surest; for
like the Cut-Purses) no sooner the worke's done, but they have
presently their Wages in Supremacy, Rule and Dominion, Honours and
Titles, Riches and Treasure, the Devill and all. Every thing that's
valuable lyes at their disposall, as doe now the Cromne Lands; Which
by a peculair knack they are now about to dispose of: For which Purpose
a Committee is appointed to devise it in such a manner, as that it.
