My Lord, 



T cannot be thought 

 that the Author of thefii 

 Travels had he not ve- 

 rily believd that there- 

 by he had eminently 

 ferv'd his King and 

 Country, would have 

 adventur'd a Dedication to fo great a 

 Monarch as the King of prance : Wherein 

 he prefumesto tell nim, that he was the 

 peribn that had brought him from the In- 

 dies the faireit Jewels that at prefent adorn 

 his Crd^ijfor which & feveral other fer- 

 vices done the Kingdom, His M ty honou- 

 red him with theTitle of Noble. And indeed 

 it is not probable that a Potentate fo wife 

 and fo difcerning, had he not been cdn- 

 vinc'd of the merit and good fervice of 

 his Subject, would have receiv'd him with 

 that effceem, or have honour'd him with 

 j. A that
