A reply by pseudo-Alexander VII published in 1662, the appearance of The Tryal of John Love (1661) concerning John Luffe, who was arrested with Perrot and died in prison, and a pamphlet on the “adventures” and “martyrdom” of four Quakers printed in 1673 each combined fact with invention and were probably published with a mocking and defamatory intent.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
