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 that 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 that 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 for ward 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 in it selfe in the truth thereof is able enough to stand against the faces of al the enimies of truth Yet because there is a sorte of people which I feare me more of enuy then of any true zeale or care of my well doynge as hauyng an awstere regard vnto my vocation which in deede resteth in the Study or rather in a meane place of practise of the cōmon lawes of this Realme will recken it a matter more then ordinary that I should after this sorte so transcende the limits of my sayd vocation as spendyng my time or at the least some parte of the same in thyngs by semblaunce so far discrepaunte from my profession let my defense be so made I beseeche you that it may in equall sort be considered or at the least wise by you enforced not only how muche and how largely loue and zeale are hable to woorke and brynge to passe in men otherwhyles conuersaunt in the consideration of thynges high and precious but also how seemely a thyng it is and how well agreeable with euery vocation to aduaunce and set foorth the high prayses of vertue and vertuous personages as also to batter beate downe the enforcementes of vyce and vicious monsters And for my selfe I haue boldly to affirme vnto all suche discontented myndes especially vnto those that haue the common lawes for theyr profession that the matter of this my littel booke is not so voyde of excuse but that by view of the substaunce ful scope therof it may yeelde foorth a stronge and ryghtfull defense agaynst these nice and ouer curious reprouers for as it concerneth the speciall prayse of God in the Commemoration of the Queenes Maiesties most prosperous and peaceable gouernment So it is not vnknowne that touchinge the Regiment of Princes the nature of Lawes the office of Counsaylers and the authorytie of Iudges the volumes of our Lawes are not so barrein but that they may and do minister matter aboundantlye to the professors and students of the same whereby to discerne and to deeme indifferently of them all for whether we would consider the good and godly gouernment of a Prince by often pardoning of offences in mercye or by sharplie punishing of offenders in iustice by planting of good wholesome lawes or by repealyng of euill and vnnecessary Statutes Not onely Bracton but also the worthy and worshipfull Knight master Forescue in sundrye places of his litle Commentary verie copiously geue foorth matter for the furtherynge of studious wittes in the consideracion thereof And no lesse may be gathered touthyng a difference and sownd censure of honourable Counsayllers but especially of Iudges of lawes Wherupon I trust I may inferre that to praise and extolle the admirable gouernment of our renowmed Soueraigne or to commende the sowndnes of her lawes or to aduaunce and set forth the wonderfull vertues of her highnes counsayllers or to acknowledge the rare learning holynesse of her reuerende Iudges so farforth as they be matters though but superfitially to be discerned and descyphred by the Bookes of our Lawes so farre they are not to be thought discrepaunt or impertinent for a student of the lawes to treat or to write of But wherfore should I thus carefully seeke to defend that which I suppose nedeth no reprehension why shuld I not rather challenge that liberty that is graunted to euery vocation of learninge yea to the lawyer himself namely to intermingle with painful trauayles of the minde the pleasures of some exercise more plausible and milde especially where the same may be practised to the glory of god to the profit of our brethren as I trust this is or at the least wyse was intended Well if all this notwithstanding these curious carpers wil
