To the Reader.
vmanum est errare, say the Latinists, to whom verie many (too much men in their much erring) haue beene exceedingly beholden for an excuse vpon iust accusations. I (who am no God, nor Angell) either to preuent, or to profit, others, am willing ynough to accuse my selfe; and therefore haue caused such ouerslips as haue yet occurred to mine eye or vnderstanding, to be placed neere the forhead of this Verball creature; as lesse afraid so to disgrace it, then to deceiue those that shall harbor it; and chusing rather to publish mine owne errors, then to be guiltie of other mens; I will not presume to affirme that these be all, no more then I will acknowledge, or giue any account for, such, as the malicious and ignorant shall captiously pinch, or fondly point, at: but my hope is, that as I haue dealt freely in the discouerie of these, so all that be iudicious will vse me friendly in their corrections of the rest.
