But being imprisoned for libel

But being imprisoned for libel

But, being imprisoned for libel, he thought it best to change his politics, and for two years appeared as an ultra-virulent Royalist partisan in the _Mercurius_Pragmaticus_. After the execution of Charles the First, however, he returned to his old party, and advocated their cause in the _Mercurius_Politicus_, which purported to be published 'in defence of the commonwealth and for information of the people.' After some years he fell into temporary disgrace, but was soon received again into favor by the House of Commons, which passed a vote in August, 1659, 'that Marchmont Nedham, gentleman, be and hereby is restored to be writer of the _Publick_Intelligence_ as formerly.' At the Restoration he was discharged from his office, but contrived to make his peace with the party in power, and, true to his instincts, changed his political creed once more for that of the winning side, but without succeeding in being reinstated in his old post. The other most noteworthy writers of _Mercuries_ were John Birkenhead, author of the _Mercurius_Aulicus_, Peter Heylin, Bruno Ryves-all parsons-and John Taylor, the Water Poet, author of the _Mercurius_Aquaticus_.
