Mercurius politicus, Number 192, 9th-16th February 1654 E.729[14]

the People going according to the Ministers Exhortation
given them, To give the Devill a Bone in
his mouth, and put him to the Dore: however many
of them have suffered mush by the Enemy, especialy
such as fled the Country at their approach.
Things have of late been pretty quiet, and some
of the Enemies seem to desire Passes to live quietly
at home. Col. Wogan is for certain dead of
those wounds he got near Drummond, and buried
in the Highlands. His Capt. Lievtenant also is
irrecoverable, which discourages the whole party
of English, and I am told they are upon dissolving.
Their cruel Acts of burning their Countrymens
houses and Corn, makes them stink in
their Nostrils, and I am apt to believe they are
not so much of one party, as Was supposed, not
their designe so universall.
From Upsall in Sweden, January 11.
The absence of the great Chancelor of Sweden
was one cause why my Lord Ambassador has
for som few days been at a stand. Now things
will be put to an issue; and so much the rather,
because of the late change that hath fallen out in
England, which we hope will prove for the honour
of God, and the good of our Native country.
It is extraordinary well resented here by
the Queen and her Servants, who were much
pleased, that the Credentials came so soon from
his Highness the Lord Protector, to my Lord
Ambassador; and the Queen hath received them
with all satisfaction.
