A88183	Englands weeping spectacle: or, The sad condition of Lievtenant Colonell John Lilburne : crying to all who have any conscience or compassion, for assistance and deliverance from his unjust, long and cruell sufferings. Wherein (as in a glasse) all Englishmen may see the slavish condition, unto which (after so much blood, time and treasure spent) they are yet by perfidious men (who vowed and promised to deliver them from all tyrannie and oppression) still most wofully subjected.	Lilburne, John, 1614?-1657.; Walwyn, William, 1600-1681, attributed name.	1648 (1648)	Wing L2107; Thomason E450_7	11,140	15
