To the Right Honourable THOMAS Earl of SOVTHAMPTON, Lord HIGH TREASURER OF ENGLAND, &c.
My Lord,
IF great Examples did not support it, the dignity and greatness of your Person would soon have gi∣ven cheque to this presumption: But since Emperours and Kings have not only gratefully accept∣ed Works of this nature, but ho∣nor'd them likewise with their own sacred hands, that Name of yours, (which ought indeed never to appear but on In∣struments of State and fronts of Marble, consecrating your Wisdom and Vertues to Eternity) will be no way lessen'd by giving Patronage to these appendant Rusti∣cities.

The noblest and most useful Structures have laid their Foundations in the Earth: if that prove firm here (and firm I pronounce it to be, if your Lordship favour it) We shall go on and flourish. I speak now in relation to the Royal Society, not my self, who am but a Servant of it only, and a Pioner in the Works.

But, my Lord, I pretend by it yet some farther service to the State than that of meerly profit, if in contributing to your diver∣tisement I provide for the Publick health, which is so pre∣cious and necessary to it in your excellent Person. Vouchsafe POMONA your Lordships hand to kiss, and the humble Presenter of these Papers the honour of be∣ing esteem'd,
My Lord,
Your most humble, and most obedient Servant I. EVELYN.
