TO THE RIGHT WORSHIPFVLL SIR IOHN SWINNERTON KNIGHT, ONE of the Aldermen of the honorable Citie of London.
HAuing drawne certaine particular remembrances, of the bountie and charitable Almes-deedes of Maister Robert Doue, lately de∣ceased (done all for the most part in his life time.) And they being digested into a volume (although little for quantitie, yet not vnwor∣thy to be committed to memorie) I thought they could not be better bestowed then vpon such as held commerce with that company, or were Heads of that body, whereof he continued a long time a wor∣thy member.
Amongst which, I haue selected you from a num∣ber of others, and am bold to present this little la∣bour vnto you, as a brother of that Societie, and one that can well iudge both of the Relation, and the truth thereof.
The chiefe and farthest point that my intention seekes to arriue at in this, is but to leaue to Posteritie

a deserued Testimonie, and commemoration of his s••••erall liberalities, to the intent that the hand of M••rcy which Heauen (in him) hath stretcht forth ouer distressed people, being duly considered: Others (to whom God hath plentifully giuen his blessings) may be stirred vp to trace him in the like steppes of true Cha••i••ie, and be encouraged to looke into their owne Sou••es betimes, and to imitate him in the works of pietie.
It is my Loue that makes tender of this vnto you, which I pray receiue with such good acceptation: As with my best affection, it comes and is bestowed vpon you: Thus humbly referring my selfe to your censure, I rest
Deuoted vnto your worship, Anthe: Nyxon.
