Asse to carie my Bookes with this Latine inscription in faire Capitall Romane Letters vpon that which should haue contained them Asinus portans mysteria being indeede taken out of Alciats Emblemes and spoken of an Asse that caried the Image of the goddesse Isis. But heere the diuulger of the foresaid Odcombian Banquet most sinisterly and malignantly applied it as all the Readers doe interprete it to my selfe and thereby very peruersly wrested it from that allusion which I intended As for the second imputation contained in his Nouerint vniuersi it farre exceeded the first in spite full bitternesse For whereas he writeth that hee could not melt out of the whole lumpe of my Booke so much matter worthy the reading as would fill foure pages I will boldly affirme for the better iustification of my Obseruations and by way of opposition against the malicious censure of that hypercriticall Momus that of the sixe hundred fiftie and foure pages for indeede so many are in the booke he shall find at the least fiue hundred worthy the reading especially in my descriptions of these Cities Paris Lyons Milan Padua Venice Verona Brixia Bergomo Zurich both the ` Badens Basil Strasbourg Heidelberg Spira Wormes Mentz Franckeford Colen c. This also I will further say for the confirmation of the sufficiencie of my historicall notes seeing they are so seuerely chastised by the censorious rod of this maleuolent traducer that biteth my worke with his Theonine teeth and yet without any vaine glorious ostentation that let him or any other whatsoeuer in our whole Kingdome of Great Brittaine shew both larger Annotations for quantitie and better for qualitie absic dicto inuidia gathered in fiue moneths Trauels by any English man since the incarnation of Christ I will be rather contented to consecrate all the Bookes that remaine now in my hands either to god Vulcan or goddesse Thetis then to present one more to any Gentleman that fauours wit and learning Therefore let this Coryatomastix Zoilus barke at mee as long as he list swell with enuie as bigge as the AEsopical Toade and shoote all his darts of malignitie against me I oppose this double thield stronger then the seuen fold Target of Aiax in Ouid for my securitie and defence against him first that it hath pleased the best of the Kingdome euen from the Kings owne person with all those sacred members of the Royall family and many Noble personages of the best note of our land as well as the Lords of the Priuie Counsell as other generous spirits of great eminencie not onely to affoord gracious entertainment to my booke but also with their courteous approbation and candid censure to thinke well of my labours Secondly that my vnparalled friend that voluble linguist sound Scholler M. Laurence Whitaker who I thinke doth as farre excell in learning my antagonist the Author of the Nouerinti vniuersi as a rose doth a nettle in sweetnesse or a Pearle a Pebble-stone in price hath vouchsafed to confirme the authoritie of my booke hauing yeelded me that fauourable and patient attention to heare me reade ouer the whole before it came to the Presse with his no lesse learning then elegant Elogie that preceedeth my owne Obseruations But to conclude this matter of my malicious enemie against the violent stroake of whose base wrongs my innocencie and integritie will like a brasen wal defend me I wish the same of them that an ancient Poet did of the bitter Poet Archi lochus Vtque repertori nocuit pugnacis Iambi Sic sit in exitium lingua proterua tuum FINIS a Nempe Apollo Smintheus b Alluding to that of Pindar Olymp. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 neuer fitting so literally as the authers shoe perserued like Epins●nideum Corium fits it c Lunata planta in Martial and that of Iuuenal Sat. 7 Appositam more lunans subtexit alut●e Witnesse that the Romane nobility and of the best sort had their Crescents on their shoes expressing a C. the single for our Authors name d 〈…〉 Baron of Odcombe 〈…〉 e 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Anacreon f ●●● were ●● Mart. wherein such as had bene faulty in Fornacalia did their deuoires as the multitude of braue spirits do now at this feast to preuent weake stomacks from reiection of Crudities●●eslus g 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Han desperate of equalling him h The statue of Iupiter being found in Rome was set vp for the image of S.
