TO THE WORTHIE and vertuuos Knight, SIR RICHARD WESTON.
SIR albeit musicke may instly chalenge an interest in the best parte of my education, I could be content for manie reasons to conceale my defects from the censure of sharper iudgementes, but the perswasion of some priuate friendes, together with the general good of such as take delight therein, hath encouragde me to vndergoe this hazard, which stands vpon the tickle point of liking, being in nothing more variable then in musicke: I shall not neede to make an Apologie in defence of these musickes, since none are so much in request nor more gene [...] receiued then of these kindes, which with all hartie affection I offer to your [...]rable iudgement not as a worke whose merit or worth deserues so iudicious a patron, but a manifestation of my worthlesse affection bound vnto you by many particular fauours: nor dare I vpon mine owne iudgement make expectation great with fair promises, yet thus much I dare presume, you shal find variety, and sith some of them hath beene gracd with your speciall fauour and liking, I doubt not they may also giue contentment to those that seekes delight, more then fautes, to whose kind acceptance vnder your worthie protection, I com mend these first fruites of my studies.

If you find in them any matter of worth I haue my rewarde, if any matter of content I haue my end, which is nothing else then by some agreeable testimony, to leaue in you both, an impression of my thankefull rememrance of your loue and fauors.
