A90516	Nuntius a mortuis: or, a messenger from the dead. That is, a stupendous and dreadfull colloquie, distinctly and alternately heard by divers, betwixt the ghosts of Henry the Eight, and Charles the First, both Kings of England, who lye entombed in the church of Windsor. Wherein, (as with a pencill from heaven) is liquidly (from head to foot) set forth, the whole series of the judgements of God, upon the sinnes of these unfortunate jslands. Translated out of the Latine copie, by G.T.; Nuntius a mortuis. English	Perrinchief, Richard, 1623?-1673.; Henry VIII, King of England, 1491-1547.; Charles I, King of England, 1600-1649.	1657 (1657)	Wing P1599A; ESTC R229647	18,209	36
