A93406	The picture of a new courtier drawn in conference, between, [brace] Mr. Timeserver, and Mr. Plain-heart. In which is discovered the abhominable practises and horrid hypocrisies of the Usurper, and his time-serving parasites. In which a Protector having been in part unvailed, may see himself discovered by I.S. a lover of Englands dear bought freedomes.	I. S.	1656 (1656)	Wing S42; Thomason E875_6; ESTC R206568	14,398	16
