A89687	An introduction to the holy understanding of the glasse of righteousnesse wherein are uttered many notable admonitions and exhortations to the good life: also sundry discreet warnings to beware of destruction, and of wrong-conceiving, and misunderstanding or censuring of any sentences. Set forth by H.N. and by him perused anew, and expressed more plainly.	Niclaes, Hendrik, 1502?-1580?	1649 (1649)	Wing N1128; Thomason E1334_1; ESTC R209115	162,613	377
