ABSTRACT
SHE ancient and moderne custome which all Authors have, and doe yet hold,in dedicating their workes to the hand of eminency and greatnesse, is grounded eitheir upon desire to see them powerfully protected, or by them to proclaim some testimony of devoted affection, or to appeare grate-full for benefits received, if I shall call to this support of my thrice humble dedication to your Highnesse, the aforefaid motives, either severall or joyned together, I doubt not but their weight will begge pardon for my pre-sumption, and incline your Grace to its savour, since whether I make my addresse in the humble supplication of the first, or in a revering sence of the second: or lastly, in the generall obligation of the third respect.
