A Commemoration of the most prosperous and peaceable Raigne of our gratious and deere Soueraigne Lady Elizabeth by the grace of God of England Fraunce and Irelande Queene c. Now newly set foorth this .xvii. day of Nouember beyng the first day of the .xviii. yeere of her Maiesties sayd Raigne By Edw. Hake Gent. ¶ Imprinted at London by William How for Richard Iohnes dwellynge without Newgate ouer agaynst S. Sepulchers Churche ¶ To the worshipfull his verie louing Cowsen M. Edwarde Eliotte Esquier the Queenes Maiesties Surueyour of all her Honours Manours Landes and possessions within her highnes County of Essex BEinge entred worshipfull and my beeloued Cowsen into the meditacion of the rare gouernment of our renowmed Queene Elizabeth so high and so aboundaunte matter of admyration offered it selfe to the view of mine vnderstanding that I felt my thoughts in such sorte surprised with the consideration thereof that for the solace of my minde I yeelded my selfe a ioyfull man to set downe in wrytynge some superfitiall discourse vpon the same such as at the least within mine owne soule might styrre vp and procure the prayses of God and draw forwards a dewe thankfulnes vnto his maiesty for the wonderfull benefites that largely thereby haue accrewed to the whole body and to euery particuler member of this our Englishe Nacion And loe no sooner had I accomplished this mocion of my mind in such sorte as you may see it heere set downe in printe but another Cogitacion began with importunitie to assayle me a freshe for beholdinge with the feruencye of my harte the truthe of that matter which I had already compyled and seeing yet farther so gloryous and so plentifull a treasourie remayning to be discouered and that In perpetuam rei memoriam I could not choose but so farre mislike with the sclendernes of that which I had alreadye done as I wished and not slightly that it woulde please almighty God to the eternall praises of his holy name to stirre vp the zeale of some learned and well approued member to geue abroade for an vniuersall view to all Countreies and Nacions of Christendome in the heroyicall garnishment of learning and truth an exact historye and declaration of the same And in this cogitaciō repairing vnto your house for the comforte of your friendlye conference it was the good will of God that I shuld disclose mine affections that way vnto you as also that I shoulde offer vnto you the hearing of this matter as it was at that time thus vnlearnedly penned where findyng by the like good fauour of god your learned friendly neighbour it was recokned for Gods diuine prouidence that I should require him also to be a hearer of the same Which learned man as you know vpon the hearinge thereof so largely dispensed with al those wantes that by learning might peraduenture haue binne supplyed in this booke as that by fauoryng chiefly regarding the vndoubted truth of the matter he perswaded that it wold grow no blemysh at all vnto my credit neither in respect of the breuitie of the woorke nor yet for the playnesse and rudenes of the stile yf I should agree to the publishing of the same in prynt whervnto on the one parte the admyrable works of God so exceedingly aboue humane reason shininge forth vnto the world in the royal person regiment of our most louing gracious Queene and on the other parte the silence of the learned sort silence I may terme it in respect of that vehemency which the woorthines of the cause requireth the more then stoical colde consideraciō of al our english people who are for the greatest part so far from thanking that they haue no thinking of the same these motions I say together with the fauorable cēsure encouragemēts of your said learned neighbor at one instant concurringe I was zealously bold to cast abroad into the view of the world this my smalle treatise as it were to prouoke the pen of some renowmed Homer to prepare the harts of al her highnes subiects to a further deper consideratiō of Gods exceeding superaboundaunt mercies that in the thankfulnes and sinceritie of their hartes they might not for one day supersticiously but for euer kepe holy vnto the Lord the cōmemoratiō of the most prosperous peaceable raigne of the same our gracious dere soueraigne lady queen Elizabeth And now my worshipful cowsen bicause the forces of these my priuate motions haue in this sort effected the nedes they must breake forth I trust to the honor of the highest and the same not meanely by occasion of the encouragemēts which I receiued in your house I cānot resist but coactedly as it were by loue I must confer the dedication thereof digested into this litle boke as you see vpon you before aboue the rest of my beloued friends assuring you that in the great ioy of my hart I haue founde you so equall vnto mine affections in the fauouring of this cause and in the comfort that you take by beholdyng the blisful daies of our sanctified DEBORA as also so Ialous for the Regestryng of her highnesse prayses or rather the prayses of our God vnto posteritie that if I knew by what other meane more acceptably then thus by the first view of these my trauayles employed to the glory of god I might manifest vnto you the sincerity of mine affection vndoubtedly you shuld finde me so forward to accomplishe the same that the deede it self to the vtmost limit of my poore degree shuld be enough to make knowne what vnfayned loue I do beare you And wheras the dedication of all other bookes for the most part doe seeme to craue countinaunce and defence at the hands of the patron this my small booke assure your self for the dignitie of the personage of whom it treateth as also for the truth of the matter that it conteineth shal be able enough besides the defence of it selfe to geue both countinaunce and commendation to your person being indeede the verye man amongst men of your place and calling whose loyall harte and religious minde besides the consideracion of priuate duties of loue may challenge frō me such affection as best of al becōmeth a christian louer to his friend so wel approued And though the booke be but litle yet the personage of whō it treateth is great and so great as that the Booke may sooner be countenaunced with the royaltie of her highnesse name than be able by the thowsande parte to show foorth the number of her princely vertues much lesse of the large benefites that infinitely arise vnto our common wealth of England and to euery member of the same by the goodnesse of her rarest gouernment Some particuler partes whereof are as before is declared in these Quaires though brieflye yet truely discoursed But nowe that you may some way answere the name of a Patron of this my Booke although the matter of the same hath defence sufficient
