A91254	A letter of due censure, and redargvtion [sic] to Lieut: Coll: John Lilburne: touching his triall at Guild-Hall-London in Octob: last. 1649. Wherein if there be contemper'd some corrosive ingredients, tis not to be imputed unto malice: the intent is, to eat away the patients proud, dead flesh, not to destroy any sincere, sound part.
