HE facrifice of my Devotions in the Dedica- 

 tion of thefe Labours (^excellent Triaci) had 

 gone a more hymble way of Ambition, than 

 through the hands of Kings and Princes, 

 could I afterwards have juftified fuch humi- 

 nations. But the Tenure of this work is a Title- Royal, 

 which no lapfe of time, nor alteration of language can re- 

 verie. In the Original entitled to a King i fo con- 

 tmued in the Tranflation , and fo in a direct: line de- 

 icends upon Tour Highnefs , as a part of a Royal Patri- 

 mony, which I durft not alienate by a lower infcription. 

 The Author is Sir Francis Bacon , a name well known in 

 the European World i a learned mao , happily the
