A66781	Speculum speculativum, or, A considering-glasse being an inspection into the present and late sad condition of these nations : with some cautional expressions made thereupon / by George Wither, immediately after His Majesties restauration, to preserve in himself and others a Christian obedience to God's various dispensations ; hereby also are some glimmerings discovered of what will probably ensue hereafter.	Wither, George, 1588-1667.	1660 (1660)	Wing W3193; ESTC R200947	83,568	179

ask_v when_o this_o number_n do_v begin_v i_o say_v even_o then_o when_o rome_n decline_v first_o from_o her_o height_n of_o pride_n which_o be_v when_o jesus_n christ_n be_v crucify_v for_o at_o
