A48783	The legend of Captaine Jones relating his adventure to sea, his first landing, and strange combat with a mighty beare : his furious battell with his six and thirty men, against the army of eleven kings, with their overthtow [sic] and deaths, his relieving of Kemper Castle, his strange and admirable sea-fight with six huge gallies of Spain, and nine thousand soldiers, his taking prisoner and hard usage : lastly, his setting at liberty by the Kings command, and returne for England.	Lloyd, David, 1597-1663.; Lluelyn, Martin, 1616-1682.	1656 (1656)	Wing L2631; ESTC R22326	41,199	102
