The Author to his Booke.

GO painefull Booke, go plead thy owne Defence, Walke with undanted Courage stop the breath Of carping tongues; who count it small offence To bulge Thee up within the jawes of Death: Go lively charg'd, with stout historian Faith, And trample downe, base Critticks in the Dust: Make Truth thy sword to batter downe their wrath So shall thy Grave discourse, triumph as just: Who yeeld thee credite, and deserving trust, There prostrate fall, give them their hearts content: Point forth the Wise, and Court them as thou must, Give them in sight as I give argument: Instruct the curious, inlarge the Servile mind, Illuminate, mis-understandings blinde: Sound knowledg in their eares; deigne to approove me, Since Friends and Foes, the World and I, must love thee.
