A85525	The grand plunderer: a subject never before writen; and great pity it is, that so mischievous a subject as this is, should survive in such malignant times as these are. Written by one, who hates not the man, but his manners; and loves his person, but likes not his condition.	One who hates not the man, but his manners, and loves his person, but likes not his condition.	1643 (1643)	Wing G1504; Thomason E93_15; ESTC R13225	4,418	8
