<l>To all the Worthie Lo-</l>
<l>uers and learned Professors of Ryme,</l>
<l>within his Maisesties Dominions,</l>
<l>S.D.</l>
<l>WOrthie Gentlemen, about a yeare since, upon</l>
<l>the great reproach given to the Professors of</l>
<l>Rime, and the use therof, I wrote a private lette, as</l>
<l>a defence of mine owne undertakings in that kinde, to</l>
<l>a learned Gentleman a great friend of mine, then in</l>
<l n=10>Court. Which I did, rather to confirm my selfe in</l>
<l>mine owne courses, and to hold him from being wonne</l>
<l>from us, then with any desire to publish the same to</l>
<l>the world.</l>
<l>But now, seeing the times to promise a more re-</l>
<l>garde to the present condition . . .
