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.

i_o do_v stand_v oblige_v by_o king_n lemuel_n command_v and_o from_o what_o i_o express_v perhaps_o likewise_o there_o may_v some_o other_o good_a effect_n arise_v what_o can_v the_o malice_n of_o
