The Epijlle Dedicator 
Yet what more particularly moved me to prefent it to 
YourMajefty, is not only Your favor to Learning in ge- 
neral, and efpecially to this place ; but much more Your 
Majefties exquifit infight into the matter it felf, infomuch 
that though the former might have given me fome confi- 
dence of Your Majefties acceptance, yet it feems more my 
intereft to appeal to Your Judgment, and humbly to im- 
plore Your Majefties decifion-, Whether if England and 
JVales were thus furveyed, it would not be both for the 
honor, and profit of the Nation ^ 
Which defign, if Your Majefty thinkfit to difapprove, 
it will yet be fome fatisfac^tion to the Author, that he has 
fhewed his ready (though mifguided^ zeal to ferve his 
Country : But if Your Majefty fliall judge it advanta- ^ 
geous to the Kingdom, or but any way worthy Your 
Majefties diverfion, there fhall none more induftrioully 
and chearfuUy proceed in it, than 
Your Majesties mojl Loial 
and ' 
moB obedient
