ABSTRACT
The news weeklies were put out of business, using an older law permitting governmental regulation of the press. Over the course of a few months, the number of London’s news outlets fell sharply. The man, whoever he was, returned with General Penn and a large portion of the fleet that sailed back to England during the summer of 1655. His account both narrated events and offered the writer’s analysis of them. Attempts to pepper the text with a few Latin phrases to show his learning and gentlemanly status were less successful than some, in terms of the quality of the Latin translations. A Common-wealth of people, is as mans body, some member may be corrupted, and yet the vitals preserved, and the head not impaired; in such cases the skilful Chirurgeon, that takes care to keep and preserve the Microcosm, dismembreth that part from the rest of the body, that might otherwise destroy the whole fabrick.
