TO THE RIGHT HONOVRABLE THE EARLE OF ESSEX, BARON OF EWE: R. A. wisheth all grace with hea∣uen and earth.
Of Mars. ♂

I the practick of memorie, whose hell and heauen pre∣sentiue facultie cannot produce a fai∣rer forme of eternitie, then in the vnimitable Idea of your Mars borne honourable Father, the best of his fortunes I could wish were traduced to you, and the best of his actions deseruing a fixt constellation, as totally diffused through euery noble veine of your Honour as the best part of your essence is in your bodie the con∣templatiue part of time admits not a fairer prospectiue of Honour.

Your Honours humble deuoted, Robert Anton.
