MOstost faire and vertuous Ladie;
hauinghaving often sought
opportunitie by
some good
meanes to make knowen
to your Ladiship, the
humble affection
and faithfull
duetie, which I
hauehave alwaies professed, and am
bound
to beare to that House,
from whence yee
spring, I
hauehave at length found
occasion to
remẽberremember the same, by making a simple present
to you of
these my idle labours; which
hauinghaving long sithens
composed in the raw
conceipt of my youth, I lately
amongst other papers lighted
vponupon, and
was
by others, which liked the same,
moouedmoovedto set
thẽthem
foorth. Simple
is the
deuicedevice, and the
composition meane, yet carrieth some delight,
eueneven
enen the rather because of the
simplicitie
&and meannesse thus
personated. The same I beseech your Ladiship
take in good part, as
a pledge of that profession
which I
hauehave made to you, and keepe with
you
vntilluntill with some other more worthie labour,
I do
redeeme it out
of your hands, and discharge my
vtmostutmost dutie. Till then wishing your
Ladiship
all increase of honour and happinesse, I
humblie
take
leaueleave.
