Poor Robin.. 1668. An almanack after a new fashion. Wherein the reader may see (if he be not blind) many remarkable things worthy of observation. Being the bissextil or leap-year. Containing a two-fold kalender, viz. The Julian or English; and the Round-heads or fanaticks: with their several saints daies, and observations upon every month. Written by Poor Robin Knight of the Burnt Island, a well-willer to the mathematicks. Calculated for the meridian of Lime house, over against cuckolds-haven; the longitude and latitude whereof is set down in the fore-heads of all jealous pated husbands.
