A66756 An improvement of imprisonment, disgrace, poverty, into real freedom, honest reputation, perdurable riches evidenced in a few crums & scraps lately found in a prisoners-basket at Newgate, and saved together, by a visitant of oppressed prisoners, for the refreshing of himself and those who are either in a worse prison or (who loathing the dainties of the flesh) hunger and thrist after righteousness / by George Wither.

when_o the_o glory_n of_o their_o name_n be_v blur_v out_o with_o a_o evil_a fame_n then_o shall_v thy_o poverty_n and_o shame_n be_v mention_v unto_o thy_o praise_n v._o let_v worldling_n feed_v

for_o though_o prodigy_n and_o such_o miraculous_a appearance_n be_v deign_v in_o chief_a to_o infidel_n and_o those_o who_o in_o god_n word_n no_o confidence_n repose_v yet_o they_o be_v likewise_o
