A47386	Mid-night thoughts, writ, as some think, by a London-Whigg, or, a Westminster-Tory, others think by a Quaker, or, a Jesuit: but call him what they please, they may find him a true penitent of the church of Christ.	Killigrew, William, Sir, 1606-1695.	1682 (1682)	Wing K463; ESTC R221028	80,494	230
