RIGHT WORSHIPFVLL: It is not a new fashion, for such as pub∣lish any Bookes, whether of greater or lesser worth, to present them to some worthy Personages, for to be patroni∣zed, which howsoeuer it may be super∣fluous and vnfit at sometimes, and for some Bookes, yet it cannot but be very requisite and sit in this, both in respect of the Authour, and of his worke: For the Authour by Nation is a stranger, and the worke doubtlesse shall meete with many enemies: And therefore howso∣euer they are both of them of very great worth, yet both of them will haue neede of good countenance and defence.

At your Worships command.
