To the ryght worshypful Master Thomas Brooke Esquire, Rychard Shyrrey wysheth health euerlastynge.
Doubt not but that the title of this treatise all straunge unto our Englyshe eares, wil cause some men at the fyrst syghte to maruayle what the matter of it should meane: yea, and peraduenture if they be rashe of iudgement, to cal it some newe fangle, and so casting it hastily from them, wil not once vouch safe to reade it: and if they do, yet perceiuynge nothing to be therin that pleaseth their phansy, wyl count it by a tryfle, & a tale of Robynhoode.
