LONDON: PRINTED FOR GEORGE NORTON, AND ARE TO BE SOULD AT HIS SHOP VNDER THE BLACKE BELL, NEERE TEMPLE-BARRE, 1613. (REPRINT.) TO THE TRVELY NOBLE, AND WORTHILY HONOURED, EDWARD LORD ZOUCHE*. ST. MAUR AND CANTELUPE, OF HIS MAIESTIES PRIUIE-COUNCELL Right Honorable : My resolued assurance, that the mouths of Infants may reueale a truth, makes me who haue not attain'd that perfection of speech, which is reputed worthie to be openly heard, yet hopefully ambitious to be beleeu'd. And truely, I desire no more, but that this simple Intelligencer, who hath brought in a relation of the World to me, may report me againe to the world, one who wish the good of all who are studiously affected, and Honour of those who haue put life into my poore indeauours+. How much I am bound both in my selfe, and those whom I esteeme as neare, to your Lordships fauours, I should blush in this idle manner to make profession, did I not thinke that those noble ends, which † See Note 2. App. * See Note 1. Appendix. 4 THE EPISTLE DEDICATORIE. haue giuen beginning to all your actions, haue enabled you to entertaine with constancie, the slender acknowledgements of great deseruings. But what your Honour did neuer expect in the great vnthankfull, and cannot meet in this little imperfect world of mine, may you finde eternally remembred, in that more glorious and incorruptible to come. Your Lordships kinsman obliged in duty RICHARD ZOVCHE. |
