B04274 A discription of plain-dealing, time, and death, which all men ought to mind whilst they do live on earth. Abuse not plain-dealing, but keep your conscience clear, spend well your time also, then death you need not fear. Plain-dealing is grown out of date because he is poor, many him hate: conscience likewise is laid aside, 'cause he base actions can't abide. To the tune of, A letter for a Christian family. / Written by Thomas Lanfire. Lanfiere, Thomas. 1674-1679? (1679) Wing L355; Interim Tract Supplement Guide EBB65H[73] 1,864 1
