A54037	The great and sole troubler of the times represented in a mapp of miserie, or, A glimpse of the heart of man which is the fountain from whence all misery flows, and the source into which it runs back. Drawn with a dark pencill, by a dark hand, in the midst of darkness.	Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.	1649 (1649)	Wing P1170; ESTC R33048	16,712	32

lift_v herself_o up_o as_o a_o queen_n also_o what_o christ_n say_v be_v to_o little_a purpose_n what_o self_n say_v be_v become_v now_o the_o law_n to_o christian_n if_o she_o sow_v the_o seed_n of_o
