MADAM,

COnsidering that the Divine Gods accept of Offerings, though never so trivial, when that their poor and obliged Creatures of∣fer them with true Devotion, incourages me here, by your Favours and Goodness, to believe alike of your Ladyship, and to hope your Pardon and ac∣ceptance of this Sacrifice of Thanks, which in all Humility I thus Dedicate for the Honour of your Book, of which I dare not say I am now unworthy, since I find where it comes, it has the Efficacy of Great Seals, and Patents, to meliorate both Persons and Places, and such Esteem and Reverence as they come welcomed with, I must always and much more account due to your Ladyships Orations, and to be Eternally paid by,

MADAM, Your Ladyships Most Devoted, Humble, and Obliged Servant

Bullingbrooke.
