A54840	An effectual prescription against the anguish of all diseases and against all other afflictions to which the nature of man is subject. Penn'd, and publish'd, and approv'd, from the author's experience of it: but more especially from the experience of very many much greater and better men, the latchet of whose shoes he is not worthy to untie.	Pierce, Thomas, 1622-1691.	1691 (1691)	Wing P2181A; ESTC R218982	12,546	28
