A55699	A present for a papist, or, The life and death of Pope Joan plainly proving out of the printed copies and manuscripts of popish writers and others, that a woman called Joan was really Pope of Rome, and was there deliver'd of a bastard son in the open street, as she went in solemn procession / by a lover of truth, denying human infallibility.	Cooke, Alexander, 1564-1632.	1675 (1675)	Wing P3244; ESTC R31913	55,061	172
