Tracts Quote by Anonymous

With a Removal of Such Imputations as are Scandalously cast on those Countries, whereby many deceived Souls, chose rather to Beg, Steal, or rot in Prison, and come to shameful deaths, than to better their being by going thither, wherein is plenty of all things necessary for Human Subsistence. London: 1656. Reprinted in Force's Tracts, vol. III.””
