Collected by a joynt-concurrence of some, who knew him well in his strength, visited him often in his sickness, attended him at his death, and still honour his memory. Published at the earnest request of many, for the satisfaction of some, for the silencing of others, and for the imitation of all. / By W.D. his dear friend and kinsman.	Durham, William, 1611-1684.	1660 (1660)	Wing D2831; Thomason E1794_1; ESTC R209698	30,977	127
