[Numb. 2.]
Mercurius Pragmaticus
For KING
CHARLS II.
Communicating
Intelligence from all Parts touching all Affairs, Designs, Humours,
and Conditions throughout the Kingdom.
Especially from Westminster, and the Head-Quarters.
From Munday Septemb. 17 to Munday Septemb. 24. 1649.

And Dedicate to thy God Nose
a drunken Skippers Lies.

and Cromwel kill'd or rowted.
------Nemo me impune lacesssit.
