one extraordinary Studious Ientleman of this land within his Clawes that diuers his mere Malitious and wilfull Enemies do verily hope that it is impossible that this Ientleman shall with this English or Brytish State either during his life be counted a good Subiect or a Commendable nay scarse a Tolerable Christian or any his Acts or Trauailes all ready past or other his intended exploits of great Importance shall be in this Land acceptable or of the people of this kingdome receyued as by the fauour light and Ayde of the Blessed Trinitie vndertaken inuented Compassed and atchieued but rather by wicked and vngodly Arte to be framed and by the help of Sathan or Beelzebub to be finished vnleast the wise or the peculiarly chief Authorized will vse due Carefull and Charitable Discretion From henceforth to repres abolish and vtterly extinguish this very Iniurious Report for these xx yeres last past and somwhat longer Spred Credited all this Realm ouer it is to wete That the Forsaid Ientleman is or was Not onely a 1. Coniurer or Caller of Diuels but 2. A Great doer therin Yea The Great Coniurer so as some would say 3. The Arche Coniurer of this whole kingdom Before that the mentioned Diuelish Cosening was vsed this sklanderous vntruthe was recorded publisâ—ed and Credited But by these new deuised Cosening forgeries the same may with some seeme to be vndoutedly confirmed Oh Lord with how tickle and strong Snares and with how wily Laberinthes hath the most enuious Traytor to the honor of our God and Christ bewrapped and Daunted many a thousand of simple honest Mens fantazies inducing them to Credit this Infamous Report To Credit it I say in respect of the honorable Seat wherin it was very vnaduisedly set downe In dede euen he who at the beginning sayd Ascendam in Coelum similis ero Altissimo euen he hath setled this intolerable sklander of the vertuous among the glorious Renown of the Righteous to so great hurt and dammage of the Ientleman who to all other Men is harmles as neuer to him by any one Mortall Man the iust Amends can duly be made I would to God this foresaid sklander and other Disgracing Reports to to rashly and euen then recorded when this Courteous Ientleman was also a prisoner himself bedfellow with one Maister Barthelet Greene had bin in due tyme espyed and vtterly cancelled and razed out of all Records wherin they were vnduly and vnaduisedly first admitted Nerer to pres this Matter in particular it is nedeles But by this and such like foule ouersight of Man Cruell despite of the hellish Enemy it is come to pas among many other great Inconueniences that wheras the said Studious Ientleman hath at God his most mercifull handes receyued a great Talent of knowledge and Sciences after his long painfull and Costly Trauails susteyned for the same and both by God being warned and of his owne disposition desirous not onely to enlarge and multiply the same but also to communicate to other He findeth himself now at length partly forced somwhat to yelde to the wickednes of these tymes being not possible to sayl against the windes eye And partly demeth himself in Gods Iudgement excusable not to bestow any more of his Talent Carefull Trauailes vpon the Ingratefull and Thankles Nay vpon the skorners and Disdainers of such his faythfull enterprises vndertaken chiefly for the Aduancement of the wonderfull Veritie Philosophicall And also for the State Publik of this BRYTISH MONARCHIE to become florishing in HONOR WEALTH and STRENGTH as much as any thing in him mought haue bin therto by any means found seruisable But who would haue thought that they who are in dede of the honester sort and more charitable yea of the wiser and by Office mightier some of them taken for his especial great freends would so many yeres haue bin so Careles or slack to Ayde and procure the Innocent to be deliuered from the greuous and most Iniurious spoyle of his good Name and Fame and all the inconueniences depending theron Or who would haue thought that so great so vncharitable Vntruthes should so vndiscretely haue bin published by those Men especially who otherwise in woord and life were very modest and Circumspect I thought it good Therfore my honest freend and Cuntryman to aduertise thee of some parte of the Cause of the strange maner of this Treatise comming to thy sight or reading As without the Name of any certain Author therof And without the Name of the zealous Artificer who first did sollicite and collect such matter by Dicâ—ata as it were from this Ientleman And Thirdly without my own Name into whose hands the sayd Artificer hath deliuered all the matter that he could get of this Brytish Ientleman to the Title of this booke answerable yea and other rare Instructions also For vndowtedly this BRYTISH PHILOSOPHER is not 1. only discouraged to labor or * pen any more Treatises or bookes him self in ARTIFICIALL METHOD for his vnkinde vnthankful disdainfull and sklanderous Cuntrymen to vse nay abuse but 2. also is loth and hath great reason so to be to haue his Name any more prefixed or subscribed to any Treatises passing from him either by writing or by speech And both these Inconueniences are purposely committed to auoyd or somwhat to preuent hensforward the farther grief and offence that might grow to him and his true freends to perceiue the former sundry sorts of Caterpillers and great hinderers of the prosperous Estate of any Common-Wealth to knaw vpon the leaf or flower of his Commendable Fame who would take very quickly an Occasion by the forefronts of bookes garnished with his BRYTISH NAME to fall to a fresh pang of enuious busiosity impudent arrogancy and dogged malicious speeches vsing and vttring against the Ientleman who vndoutedly wisheth euill to none And perhaps though it were very good matter that should by him be contriued and written and vnder his Name be published yet they would in perusing it either peruert their own Iudgements of it through their vnquieted and mere malicious fantazie wilfully bent against him or rather in dede through their own great Ignorance would verify the Prouerb Scientia non habet Inimicum nisi Ignorantem as they did by his Monas Hieroglyphica dedicated to the late Emperor Maximilian wherein the Queene her most Excellent Maiesty can be a sacred witnes as I haue heard of the Strange and vndue speeches deuised of that Hieroglyphicall writing Or if they liked the matter then they would say that such a Treatise vnder his Name published is not or was not of his owne compiling and ordring as Author therof but that some other Man now liuing or long since dead was the only and first Author of such a good Treatise And that mâ—nâ—r of malicious Iniury hath bin very notably dâ—nâ— vnto him for these many yeres past about his Booke Intituled Propaedâ—umata
