A96961 The wounds of an enemie in the house of a friend. Being a relation of the hard measure sustained by Miles Halhead, and Thomas Salthouse, for the testimony of Jesus: particularly in a long, and sore, and close imprisonment, first at Plymouth, and then at Exeter in the county of Devon, though they have neither offended the law of God, or of the nation. Published for the clearing of their innocency from the cloud of transgression, of which they are supposed highly guilty, and by reason of their silent abiding such sharp, and long, and cruell sufferings. Halhead, Miles, 1613 or 14-1689 or 90.; Salthouse, Thomas, 1630-1691. 1656 (1656) Wing W3665; Thomason E870_7; ESTC R2977 52,373 80
