The Epistle.

which all I will omitte, ſeeyng onely myne intente is to ſhewe my ſelfe myndfull of your good turnes and benefites, deſiring you to take this in good parte, whyche proceedeth from a well willing minde. And I am ſorie that at this preſente I had none other matter

more worthy to haue gratified your worſhip withall: but that
whiche wanteth in power, aboundeth in good will. Thus
troubling your worſhip no longer, I commit you
to the keeping of the Almightie, praying
him to increaſe in you all vertue
and godlyneſſe, and to
grant you the long
yeares of Ne-
ſtor.

Yours moſt bounden
Thomas Hill.
