A memorandum to London, occasioned by the pestilence there begun this present year MDCLXV, and humbly offered to the Lord Maior, aldermen and commonalty of the said city. By George Wither. Thereto is by him added, a Warning-piece to London, discharged out of a loophole in the Tower, upon meditating the deplorable fier, which consumed the house of an eminent citizen, with all the persons and goods therein, at the beginning of our most joyful festival, in December, 1662. Also, A single sacrifice offered to Almighty God, by the same author in his lonely confinement, for prevention of the dearth feared, and probably portended, by immoderate raines in June and July, 1663 ... Moreover, in regard many have reported and believed this author to be dead; we have annexed his Epitaph, made by himself upon that occasion.

Wither, George, 1588-1667.
