Au Lecteur des-interessè.
IL y en a qui reprochent a l'Anglois, que, veu que le Genie, & lesprit d'une Nation se discerne grandement par ses mots & dictons Proverbiaux, l'Angloise se trouue plus maigre, & sterile en ce particulier, que les autres Langues; pour desa∣buser le monde touchant cela à este le principal motif qui in'a induit d'exposer au public ces Proverbes Anglois ensuyvans, dans lesquels le Lecteur desinteressè trouuerà autant du sel, & du sens qu' en ceux d'aucun autre Langage quelqu' qu'il soit.
