Adorer

1582, Gregory Martin (translator), The New Testament of Jesus Christ, Translated Faithfully into English, Reims: John Fogny, John 4.23, p. 226, But the houre commeth, and now it is, when the true adorers shal adore the Father in spirit and veritie.

[…] I in one Night freed / From servitude inglorious welnigh half / Th’ Angelic Name, and thinner left the throng / Of his adorers […]

All men in the outset of the religion they profess are adorers of a God, and friends of man.

[…] I profess myself her adorer, not her friend.

I vvho profeſs my ſelf an Admirer, an Adorer of Reaſon, am obliged to ovvn, that in ſome Caſes the Sharpneſs of Ridicule can do more than the Strength of Argument.

When rival adorers come courting a maid, / There’s something or other may often be said, / Why he should be pitched upon rather than him. / This wasn’t the case with Old Paul and Old Tim.

The funny thing was that all the envelopes were addressed in the same hand, in green or sometimes purple capitals. It was like one crazed adorer laying siege to Leo.
