A95749	Ekskybalauron: or, The discovery of a most exquisite jewel, more precious then diamonds inchased in gold, the like whereof was never seen in any age; found in the kennel of Worcester-streets, the day after the fight, and six before the autumnal æquinox, anno 1651.

Urquhart, Thomas, Sir, 1611-1660.	1652 (1652)	Wing U134; Thomason E1506_1; ESTC R203867	122,679	328
