A96764 The Protector. A poem briefly illustrating the supereminency of that dignity; and, rationally demonstrating, that the title of Protector, providentially conferred upon the supreme governour of the British republike, is the most honorable of all titles, and, that, which, probably, promiseth most propitiousness to these nations; if our sins and divisions prevent it not. / Composed by George Wither, Esq; ... Wither, George, 1588-1667. 1655 (1655) Wing W3184; Thomason E1565_2; ESTC R204098 29,693 63
