The Epistle Dedicatorie. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE, GEORGE Marquesse Buckingham, Viscount VILLIERS; Baron of Whaddon; Lord high Admirall of England; Justice in Eyre of all his Majesties Forrests, Parks, and Chases beyond Trent; Master of the Horse to his Majesty; and one of the Gentlemen of his Majesties Bed-Chamber; Knight of the most Noble Order of the Garter; and one of his Majesties most Honourable Privy Counsell of England and Scotland.
RIGHT NOBLE LORD,
YOVR humble Servant hath observ'd in the multitude of Books that have past his hands, no small varietie of Dedica∣tions; and those severally sorted to their Presenters ends: Some for the meer ambition of great names; Others, for the desire, or need of Protection; Many to win Friends, and so favour and opinion; but Most, for the more sordid respect, Gain. This humbly offers into your Lo: presence with none of these deformities: But as a bashfull Stranger, newly arrived in English, having originally had the fortune to be borne commended to a Grandee of Spain; and, by the way of translation, the grace to kisse the hands of a great Ladie of France, could not despair of lesse courtesie in the Court of Great Brittain, then to be received of your Lo: delight; his studie being to sweeten those short starts of your retirement from publick affairs, which so many, so unseasonable, even to molestation trouble.
By him who most truely honours, and humbly professes all duties to your Lordship. Ed.: Blount.
