A briefe note to the Readers.

THe Wheele that is placed (Gentlemen) last, as the period of this se∣cret Worke may of some be challenged (through the diuersitie of Copies) to differ from the first. But herein I assure you I haue ob∣serued no lesse care than counsaile, and that of knowen Practisers, whose censures (made more certaine by experience) haue determined all doubts, and made me bolde to publish what followeth for the most aun∣cient. If anie literall fault be past, amend it with your pens: if anie carper inueigh against me, defend me with your curtesies: and let them (if they can) condemne by cunning. Farewell.

R. Rabbardes.
