To the People.
MY Epistles haue no fortune to purifie mens apprehen∣sion, much lesse to new create, or to increase their iudge∣ments: Be therefore suddenly per∣swaded to reclaime thy censure ha∣uing viewed this, or be perpetually haunted with thy double mischiefe, Impudence and dulnesse. Take this along, and I haue done speedi∣ly. Things bee heere censured so tractable, as if they and thou dis∣claime acquaintance, thou must immediately be taken for one affe∣cted to tyrannicall or clownish ig∣norance:
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
Be then thy owne Reader; thou needst not my comment: nor do I request thy fauourable constracti∣on. Yet, if thou canst beleeue that perfect sense and meanings be not onely tied to publick fauourites, thou needst not bee ashamed to iustifie both mee and mine: If (otherwise) thou canst not relish; blame thy selfe onely, at thy owne perill.
