BRATHWAIT TO THE DESERVING READER DEserving Reader every Author as this scribbling age goes may finde a Reader well worthy his Labour but very few Authors publish such Workes as deserve the labour of a discerning Reader Like to some of our PorcupineTheatrall Pantomimes who dare adventure in their spongie Labours begot of a barmie spirit and other no●…ious vapours to display a Gentlewoman in her compleatest Nature though they erre egregiously in her favour figure and feature Peruse this and returne me answer if it be not worth thy Labour to bestow an houre or two in the Reading of this Author Forraigne he is and yet familiar choice and dainty his conceits yet allayed with so sweet a temper as they retaine in them the relish of a good nature So free his invention and so cleare from invection as it admits no sinister inver●… nor intention Whatsoever hee 〈◊〉 inserts holds apt proportion and connexion with 〈◊〉 Subiect whereo●… hee treates So as being not onely a Stranger but so discerning an Author hee can expect no lesse than a Candid censure from so deserving a Reader THE TESTIMONIE OF SABAEUS AMNIANUS touching Mariano Silesio with his judgement of his Worke entituled The Arcadian Princesse or The triumph of Iustice. WHat pregnancy of conceit and gravity of judgement that Learned Florentine Silesio expressed may appeare by those excellent Labours of his wherein hee addressed his Penne to Subjects of divers natures according to those occasionall employments wherein hee stood engaged His youth hee bestowed in Poesy wherein he shewed that vivacity and quicknesse as the Court of Florence resounded with the fame of his ●…imensions In his riper yeares hee became employed in affaires of high consequence being twice elected by the vote and suffrage of the whole State for an Embassador to the Genueses where hee demeaned himselfe in such sort as hee was with no lesse cautious observance admired abroad than with all honour entertained at his returne home But growing old and wearied with the mannagement of publique affayres hee desired to retire and in his retirement to addresse the remainder of his dayes to some profitable workes which might live in his death and to posterity revivè the memory of his life Amongst which hee composed a worke in my iudgement of exquisite wit entituled the Arcadian Princesse wherin hoth language and Invention discovered their Master-piece He dyed An Dom. 1368.
