AN EPITAPH On the late deceased , that truely-Noble and Renowned Lady ELIZABETH CROMWEL , ( Mother to His Highness the Lo. Protector of Great Britain and Ireland , &c. ) who lived to the age of 89. and died Nov. 16. 1654. and lieth buried in Westminster-Abbey . REnowned mother of our Lord Great OLIVER Protector , Thou noble Root that didst afford Great Britain's Weal's Affector ! Like Helen , sometime honoured For Great Constantine's Mother ; So Thou for Us hast born and bred One truely such another In Wisdom , Valour , and Goodness , That hath us freed from Chains Of Tyrants great , that did distress Good men with cruel Pains . And as Great Constantine did free Christ's Church from Persecution ; So hath thy Son gain'd Libertie For real Truth's promotion . May he go on to conquer still All potent Enemies That wish our Western Zion ill , And would our Rights surprise . And may he give the fatal blowe To Persecution's pride , In any Forms , both high or lowe , Where-ever he doth hide . May he go on , Terrour to be To Rome's usurping power ; May he give Christians Libertie ( Out from that Babel-Tower ) And ease poor Protestants from Bands , And th' cruel Inquisition , And free us from proud Clergies hands , Is that which we petition . Madam , you lived to great age , And saw most great Mutation Acted upon the common Stage Of this our terrene Station . Your Life it was most full of Love To creatures in distress : That is the God-like life above , And is true Happiness . May You and Yours it still possess . Nov. 17. 1654. J. L ▪
