To my worthy friend and fellow-Templar
Captaine IAMES.
I Haue perused your Iournall. To com∣mend
it, were to dispraise it; Good
wine needs no Ensigne: Mos est fae∣da
coloribus abdere: yet this I must
needs say, you haue shewed your selfe
to be a Master of your Art. The* 1.1worth of a Warrier and Pylot is
neuer discouered but in stormes and skirmishes, and
how many skirmishes of stormes and tempests you haue
past, this Iournall of yours doth sufficiently manifest: Goe
on then, and as you haue begun well, so when any good oc∣casion
is offered, second your good beginnings with sutable
proceedings: and let not the cold entertainment you haue
had in the frozen Seas freeze vp your affections in vn∣dertaking
other worthy employments. So may you deserue,
with Columbus, Drake, and Frobusher, to haue the
remembrance of you smell sweetly in the nostrils of po∣steritie,
when you are in the dust. Farewell,
From the Inner Temple,
THOMAS NASH.
