To the T^eader, 



unto thee meerly for thy proper ufe and habitation ; and 

 therefore I hope that thou wilt not make fuch ufe thereof^ 

 as men do of an Inn, where they take a bait or repa(V, 

 for one meal, or for a lodging, for one night and away, 

 to wit, by only taking a fuperficial vievy thereof : but 

 that thou wilt make it thy abode at the leaft for fome 

 time : I mean by reading and digefting the whole work 

 in order a3 it lieth trcatably and feriouily, and after by 

 putting in praftice, what therein thou (halt find to be fit 

 for thy ufe 5 fb (halt thou reap and enjoy the benefit, 

 my felf the comfort, and the common-wealth the 

 honour. 



If any leaks be in the printing, impute them either 

 unto the mifprifion of the printer, or elfe to the negli- 

 gence of him unto whom the charge of the corredting 

 was committed 5 and if any be in the Author, let the 

 fault light upon thofe who fpurred him fb faft on to haffc 

 it to the Prefs 5 but howfbever fhew thy charity in cor- 

 refting the faults and flips, as well of the one, as of the 

 other , So fhalt thou (hew thy felf to the world like thy 

 felf, truly Noble, and oblige the Author to remain ever 

 thy humble Servant, and true Friend : Farewel. 



Thotffos de Grey,
