Excerpt from book: L) Ctteratare 13ter, where, lying without a bedde, he caught such an extreame cold in his legges, that it was not long before he departed this life. We shall hereafter (under Vennab, Richard) introduce a notice of his autobiography, in which he relates a few curious particulars regarding himself. The above quotation from W.
