A79747	A candle for the blinde citizens of London, to see by: by a freeman of the same city, though of neither ranke or quality, yet reall in heart, fearing God, honouring his King, and a lover of truth, peace, and the brotherhood. With Englands farewell from its ancient prosperity, to its new change of misery.		1648 (1648)	Wing C424; Thomason E465_12; ESTC R205185	4,674	8
