Three private meditations / which being, for the most part, of publick concernment are therefore published, by their author, Geo. Wither. The first, is, a private thanksgiving consisting of three hymns, whereby God is magnified for His mercy vouchsafed in the late ingagement between the English and the Dutch, in June 1665 ... The second, is a sacrifice of praise and prayer ... for His providential respect to him, his wife and children during his imprisonment in ... Newgate ... The third, intituled Nil Ultra, is a soliloquium, wherein the author expresses the improbability of an effectual proceeding further, to prevent the sins and plagues increasing.
