To the Reader.
IT is an approved Axiome, Omnis
praxis, sine praevia theoria, imper∣fecta
& incerta est. All practice,
without the Theory first knowne, is
imperfect and uncertain. Experience
hath taught many (and doubtless my self)
this truth possibly, in Armes, as well as
Arts. Therefore I conceived, it would not
be unworthy acceptance to publish the
ensuing Treatise, wherein there will be
found instruction not only for Courtiers,
but others who are eminent in publi{que} im∣ploiments
at this time, or shal be hereaf∣ter.
It is find acceptance with thee, 'twill
••••courage me for future to compose
somewhat of another nature, who in the
Mean while will not bee wanting in
studyes and endeavours further to serve
thee and the Publique.
Farewell.
