A44491	A comfortable corroborative cordial: or, A sovereign antidote against, and preservative from, the horrours & harms of death affording a direction how to live and die, so as to be fortified and fenced against the greatest fears and sharpest sense of that king of terrours. Represented in some observations made upon Rev. 14. 13. Upon occasion of the late death and burial of Mrs. Rebeccah Jackler late wife of Mr. John Jackler of Kings-Lynn in Norfolk, woollen-draper; who deceased Octob. 5. and was buried Octob. 7. 1671. By John Horne, sometime preacher of Gods word in Lynn-Alhallows in the same town. Useful to be considered by all men living in this state of mortality: because there is no man living but must certainly die.	Horn, John, 1614-1676.	1672 (1672)	Wing H2797; ESTC R218922	54,539	129
