TO The Honourable (and truly Noble) Sir EDMOND BACON of Redgrave in the County of Suffolke, BARONET.
SIR,
YOu being so much concern'd in the subsequent Catalogue of those Baronets, who were invested with that Dignity and Title by the Royal Munifi∣cence of our late Monarchs, I did believe that there was an Obligation incumbent upon me to offer up this Register to your Patronage; and that inforc'd from these two Reasons.
First, The Antiquity and Noblenesse of your Ex∣traction did invite it.
Secondly, You being the premier Baronet that leads up the Van of those worthy persons that have been for∣merly dignified with that honorary Title, did appeare almost to exact this Dedication, which I hope will by you be as benignly received, as it is really consecrated to your Name,
By
Sir,
Your most humble Servant, RICHARD BLOME.
