A47869	The history of the Plot anatomised: or the late sham fanatical-plot, briefly and plainly laid open Wherein, those worthy patriots who were charged therewith, are vindicated from the malicious and false aspersions cast upon them by a late author. In a letter to a friend.	L'Estrange, Roger, Sir, 1616-1704.	1689 (1689)	Wing L1259A; ESTC R179472	22,315	34
