A91558	A present for youth, and example for the aged, or, The remains of Damaris Pearse containing her speech after she kept her bed, and a copy of a written paper, of her own composing, which she left as her last legacy to her brothers and sisters, and was the last thing that ever she wrote : and also several pious expressions, occasionally uttered in her last sickness, worth minding : together with her funeral-sermon, preached by a reverend minister of the Gospel.	Pearse, Damaris, 1659-1679.	1683 (1683)	Wing P969C; ESTC R43889	49,302	145
