A42935	God's judgments against whoring. Vol. I being an essay towards a general history of it, from the creation of the world to the reign of Augustulus (which according to common computation is 5190 years) and from thence down to the present year 1697 : being a collection of the most remarkable instances of uncleanness that are to be found in sacred or prophane history during that time, with observations thereon.		1697 (1697)	Wing G959; ESTC R40905	162,422	375
