A62474	The histories of the gunpowder-treason and the massacre at Paris together with a discourse concerning the original of the Powder-Plot; proving it not to be the contrivance of Cecill, as is affirmed by the Papists, but that both the Jesuits and the Pope himself were privy to it. As also a relation of several conspiracies against Queen Elizabeth.	Thou, Jacques-Auguste de, 1553-1617.	1676 (1676)	Wing T1074A; ESTC R215716	233,877	303
