The principal author of Mercurius melancholicus (1647-1649) was John Hackluyt; but rival periodicals with the same name sporadically appeared, one by John Crouch, another by Martin Parker and John Taylor.  The anti-Presbyterian tone of this ballad denies Hackluyt's authorship but is quite suitable to the verse of Crouch, Parker, or Taylor
