BY I.W. GENT.
<SN 1 TO
THE COURTEOUS AND IMPARTIALL READER, HEALTH
AND PROSPERITIE. >
HERE IS PRESENTED TO THY JUDICIOUS VIEW AND FAVOURABLE CENSURE,
A SECRETARIE TO DIVERS MENS CONCEPTIONS, AS HAVE NOT YET BEENE
HANDLED, IN ANY BOOKE OF THIS KIND, THE VARIETIE OF MATTERS AND THEIRS
ANSWERS ARE MORE CAPABLE TO CONTENT THE LEARNED, THEN THE IGNORANT,
HOWSOEVER, USEFULL TO BOTH, AND CHIEFLY NECESSARY TO INSTRUCT THE YOUTH,
IN THE TRUE METHODE OF INDITING AND COMPOSING LETTERS. IF THEREFORE THIS
EFFICATIOUS WORKE FINDS A GRACIOUS ENTERTAINMENT IN THY SIGHT, AND THAT
UNDER THE BANNER OF THY APPROBATION IT MAY FREELY WANDER THE WORLD, AND
WARRE AGAINST THE IGNORANT WORLDLINGS OF THIS IRON AGE, WHO ( AS WORMES
IN A LIBRARY) SEEME ONELY TO LIVE, BUT FOR TO DESTROY LEARNING, I SHALL
EVER ENDEVOUR TO SET OUT SUCH WORKES AS MAY BE, FOR THE ENRICHING THE
MORE THY SPIRIT, AND TO ADORNE THY SOULE. SO . . .
