TO THE TRVLY IVDICIOVS, IMPARTIALL CHARITABLE, AND IMPREIVDICATED CHRI∣stian Reader of what quality, age or sex soever, the Authour dedicates his poore endevors and referrs himselfe with the same.
1.
RIigh Honourable, Worshípfull, and right
Iuditious Chrian Readers be content,
Kindly t'accept what (to give all delight,
And vindicate my selfe) I did invent,
For to no other end this time I spent
But in this small compendium to frame
Something thae's short and true; Lyers to shame.
2.
Heer's matter both for modesty and sport,
With charitable reprehentions for
Those who have fill'd both Countrey, Citie, Court
And Campe with Lybells voyd of reason, or
The feare of Heaven (who doth such things abhor)
Buy, Reade, and Iudge, then questionlesse you'll say,
That I have showne faire (for their base) foule play
3.
Still I hope good men will contented be,
With what is Publish'd by (abus'd) M. P.
Who never wrot but in the Iust defence,
Of's King and Countrey; now's owne innocence.
