TO THE HONORABLE Gentleman, and my very good Maister, Sir Henry Fanshawe, KNIGHT.

WOrthy Sir: among many Patrons of Art, and Musicall en­deuours, I am emboldened to rancke your Name; who, as I know you not inferiour to the best, as well for a louer of MVSICKE, as a competent Iudge of that Noble facul­tie; so I present you here, with such numbers best fitting your innated Harmony, and (I hope) not vnworthy your Patronage. And though I know the excellent varietie of these Compositions, hath fed time with fulnesse, and bred many Censors, more curious, then (perhaps) Iudiciall; and since no Science carries so sufficient authority in it selfe, but must needs submit to that Monster OPINION, halfe truth, halfe falshood; yet these of mine being thus fronted with your Countenance, digested by your Eare, and allowed in your Knowledge; should they proue distastfull with the queasie pallated, or surfeited delight, yet with the sound (vnsubiect to such disease of Humor, and appetite) I presume they will pleasingly rellish, and (with your equall selfe) mainteine me against the corrupted number of Time-sicke humorists. These (honoured SYR) are the primitiae of my Muse, planted in your pleasure, and cherisht by the gentle calme of your Fauour; what I may produce hereafter is wholy Yours (as who hath more right to the Fruit then he that owneth the Stock?) If then you accept (in stead of reall worth) this my humble Tribute of Affection, I shall study to vse that grace, with my time, to the best aduantage, and till I may better deserue you, in my vtmost abilities euer rest

TO THE HONORABLE Gentleman, and my very good Maister, Sir Henry Fanshawe, KNIGHT.

WOrthy Sir: among many Patrons of Art, and Musicall en­deuours, I am emboldened to rancke your Name; who, as I know you not inferiour to the best as well for a louer of MVSICKE, as a competent Iudge of that Noble facul­tie; so I present you here, with such numbers best fitting your innated Harmony, and (I hope) not vnworthy your Patronage. And though I know the excellent varietie of these Compositions, hath fed time with fulnesse, and bred many Censors, more curious, then (perhaps) Iudiciall; and since no Science carries so sufficient authority in it selfe, but must needs submit to that Monster OPINION, halfe truth, halfe falshood; yet these of mine being thus fronted with your Countenance, digested by your Eare, and allowed in your Knowledge; should they proue distastfull with the queasie-pallated, or surfeited delight, yet with the sound (vnsubiect to such disease of Humor, and appetite) I presume they will pleasingly rellish, and (with your equall selfe) mainteine me against the corrupted number of Time-sicke humorists. These (honoured SYR) are the primitiae of my Muse, planted in your pleasure, and cherisht by the gentle calme of your Fauour; what I may produce hereafter is wholy Yours (as who hath more right to the Fruit then he that owneth the Stock?) If then you accept (in stead of reall worth) this my humble Tribute of Affection, I shall study to vse that grace, with my time, to the best aduantage, and till I may better deserue you, in my vtmost abilities euer rest

Your Worships in all seruiceable endeuour and deuotion IOHN WARD.

Newly Composed by Iohn Ward.

BASSVS.

Printed by THOMAS SNODHAM. 1613.

TO THE HONORABLE Gentleman, and my very good Maister, Sir Henry Fanshawe, KNIGHT.

WOrthy Sir: among many Patrons of Art, and Musicall en­deuours, I am emboldened to rancke your Name; who, as I know you not inferiour to the best, as well for a louer of MVSICKE, as a competent Iudge of that Noble facul­tie; so I present you here, with such numbers best fitting your innated Harmony, and (I hope) not vnworthy your Patronage. And though I know the excellent varietie of these Compositions, hath fed time with fulnesse, and bred many Censors, more curious, then (perhaps) Iudiciall; and since no Science carries so sufficient authority in it selfe, but must needs submit to that Monster OPINION, halfe truth, halfe falshood; yet these of mine being thus fronted with your Countenance, digested by your Eare, and allowed in your Knowledge; should they proue distastfull with the queasie-pallated, or surfeited delight, yet with the sound (vnsubiect to such disease of Humor, and appetite) I presume they will pleasingly rellish, and (with your equall selfe) mainteine me against the corrupted number of Time-sicke humorists. These (honoured SYR) are the primitiae of my Muse, planted in your pleasure, and cherisht by the gentle calme of your Fauour; what I may produce hereafter is wholy Yours (as who hath more right to the Fruit then he that owneth the Stock?) If then you accept (in stead of reall worth) this my humble Tribute of Affection, I shall study to vse that grace, with my time, to the best aduantage, and till I may better deserue you, in my vtmost abilities euer rest

Your Worships in all seruiceable endeuour and deuotion IOHN WARD.
