TO THE Right Honourable and Excellent Lady the Duchesse of Feria her Grace IT hath bene long my desire right honourable and vertuous Ladie euer sins I did first see and know the right Noble and most worthy Duke your Graces late Husband to be able to doe some seruice or to shew some token of duetie to so wise and so worthy a Personage as his Grace was Whose vertues were such and his noble Qualities so great and so wel knowen vnto al who neither for sinister affectioÌ„ were blinded nor for ignoraÌ„ce vnapt to esteme and see the same that I may wel saie and doubt whether the Nobilitie of bloud and parentage which was very high and auncient were greater in him or els the vertues and qualities of his minde the whiche alone had bene meete and sufficient to haue made him suche if he had not ben thereto borne by kind and noble Race For if true Nobilitie consist in the gifts of vertue wisedome and prowesse adioyned with some antiquitie of famous and worthie Progenitours I nede not but report the truth hereof to any that knew his Grace but a litle whether he were not abundantly endued with al the same The Antiquitie of his renowned Familie and Ofspring the late Histories of Naples and Spaine do manifestly witnesse to the worlde His liberalitie and passing Freenes in succouring poore Gentlemen and other in necessitie the memorie wherof is yet fresh in the mindes of many so succoured by him his Religious Deuotion toward God and his Catholique Churche his faithful couÌ„sel to his Prince his true and readie seruise in publike affaires at sundry times employed his valour and prowesse in Martial feates wel tried all these Noble Qualities of his Grace being so wel knowen and witnessed to the world must nedes confirme and prooue that he was a very worthy and true Noble-man in deede For whiche cause as I said before seeing and knowing all these high giftes of God and nature to be so plentifully in him I did euer thinke my self bound to be ready to serue him to honor him and to beare that loyal affectioÌ„ toward him which true Nobilitie doth of right require of al true honest hartes But now wheras it hath pleased God so sone to bereaue your Grace of so Noble and so deare a Husband and al good men of so great and so hable a Patrone in their necessities and that now the best seruise we can do him is to praie hartily for him yet that former desire of mine is not thus quenched nor dead with him but from him is deriued to such as be leaft behinde him being most nere and deare than vnto him and leaft now to vs as matter whereon stil to exercise our former seruise and duetie And this very cause it was which moued me of late that whereas I had newly set forth a brief Latin Chronicle printed before at Paris and had somwhat augmeÌ„ted it my self and emong other things made mention of the most honourable Duke of Feria both of that he did in England a litle before and after the death of Good Queene Marie and now last of his owne death in departing out of this worlde in so good and so Godly Christian wise al that part of my labour therein I haue dedicated vnto that Noble Impe your Graces moste deare and onely Sonne leaft now vnto you for a very paterne and comfort of his no lesse dere than Noble Father Which when I had done yet was I not so satisfied but tooke it to be against all good maner if in shewing some seruice and honour to the Sonne I should leaue alone the Mother not so much as saluted And therefore whereas I had also translated out of Spanish a short Treatise coÌ„teining a brief fourme or Doctrine of Confession which hath seemed to the learned and vertuous of our Nation here a thing very necessarie and profitable specially at this time in so great corruption both of true faith and good life it came also to mind that I should doe right wel to dedicate the same smal labour of mine vnto your Honour for a further testimonie of my foresaid affectioÌ„ and duetie not only vnto that moste honourable Duke who now no doubte is gone from this transitorie honour to liue in eternal Glorie with god but also vnto your Grace vnto whoÌ„ I beseke our Lord to send suche continuance and increase of worldly honour and such comfort to mitigate the dolour of his departing hence that you may liue bothe together againe in that life and glorie that neuer shall decaie nor haue end and in the meane time suche good health and fortitude to beare patiently this losse and lacke of him that those Noble vertues which are in your Grace be not letted thereby but may be so exercised together with your Sonne and in training him vp in his Fathers owne steppes that as long as the Mother or Sonne shal liue here the worthy memorie of the Father shall neuer die in mens hartes From Louen the second of April Anno D. 1572. Your Graces most ready Seruitour John Fouler To the Reader WHereas in this great corruption of Faith and good life there is also great want of good instruction for the amendmeÌ„t of both the same wheras yet the blindnes or malice of some meÌ„ is so great that the very same meanes leaft by Christe and his Apostles in the Church for that end they make so smal account of that they both contemne and condemne the same without al reason raise therat with full vncomely termes it hath semed to many good and vertuous men right necessary to set forth some such Treatise wherein briefly is conteined bothe the right vse and ende of Shrift or Confession and also the due order that eche Christian man ought to kepe and obserue in the same Whiche whoso shal duly peruse and examine shall soone see how litle reason or cause ther is to make
