Execution.- Execution of Two Persons (The), for the Murdering of Sir Edmund-bury Godfrey, very faint spotting to final f., modern morocco backed boards, small 4to, 1678. *** Rare, not on ESTC. Some mystery still surrounds the death of Sir Edmund-bury Godfrey, though it is generally agreed that Titus Oates used his death to accuse various Catholic plotters of murder whilst also encouraging anti-Catholic feeling amongst the general public.
