Auing tun through the hiftory of plants gathered by Matter Gerard^ and much inldrged the 

 fame>both by the addition of many figures and hiftories of plants not formerly contained 

 in it,and by the amending and increafing the hiftory of fundry of thofe which before were 

 therein treated of s Ifindcthat I haue forgotten diuers which I intended tohaue added in their 

 fitting pUces : thcoccaCion hereof hath been, my many bufinefles 5 the troubIefomne(Te,and abouc 

 alJ^he great expe&ation and hafte of the Worke,whereby I was forced to perform this task with- 

 in the compaflc of a yeare. Now being conftant to ray firft resolution, I here haue, as time would 

 giue me Ieaue>and my memorie ferue>made a briefe collection and addition (though without me- 

 thod)of fuch as offered themfelues tome; and without doubt there are fundry others which are as 

 fitting to be added as thofe ; and I fhould not haue bin wanting if time had permitted me to haue 

 entred into further consideration of them. In the meane time take in good part thofe that I haue 

 here prefented to your view.
