No. 27-29 published separately and simultaneously by both George Bishop and Robert White; these issues have the same enumeration, pagination and signatures but different texts. |
|
Two issues enumerated 86, with same dates but slightly different texts. |

According to Bishop's Mercurius aulico-mastix (sole issue published 12 April 1644), his issues 27-29 were held to be "a false Britanicus". |
|
Each issue typically begins with disparaging commentary on Mercurius aulicus (Oxford : 1643). |
