be had, vnlesse I had caused it to be printed againe. The mappe is master Michael Lockes, a man, for his knowledge in diuers languages and especially in Cosmographie, able to doe his countrey good, and worthie in my iudgement, for the manifolde good partes in him, of good reputation and better fortune. This cursorie pamphlet I am ouer bold to present vnto your worshippe: but I had rather want a litle discretion, then to bee founde vnthankful to him, which hath been alwaies so readie to pleasure me and all my name.

your accustomed fauour towarde these
godly and honourable
discoueries.

Your worshippes humble alwayes
to commaunde, R. H.
