The REDEMPTION of lost Time Ephes 5.16 Redeeme the Time for the daies are euill LONDON Printed by N.O. for Richard Sergier 1608. TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE SIR EDWARD COKE KNIGHT LORD chiefe Iustice of the Kings Maiesties Court of Comon Plees VOuchsafe my good Lord to patronage this small Treatise of the Redemption of lost Time which heere I present vnto your Honor as an vndoubted token of my dutifull affection towards you not presuming thereby to instruct your Lo. in any thing you learned not before being a Person wel known to haue deepe insight in the due value and worth of TIME and wisely to vnderstand how to estimate imploy and diuide the same rendring to euery action his due Time and to euery Time his right function But that vnder the shadowe of your wings and protection I may bee freed frō that Taxe whereof the best Bookes now adayes imprinted cannot escape censure And verily if they bee commended whoe bring vs any commodities drugges or delights fashions or fruits from forraine Countries how can I be iustly reproued if after long pursuit in a strange land J bring home a dish of rare dainties profitable and necessary a pretious Iewell richer then the gold of Ophir the Redemption of lost Time Thus ceasing to interrupte your Honors waightier businesses I cōmend this vnto your Lordsh fauour and your Lordsh to the Almightie his protection London the 10. of May. 1608. Your Lordsh humbly to command Daniel Powel To the Reader IT is true which is spokē in the Castilian Prouerb El bien no es conocido hasta que es perdido The good is not knowen vntill it be lost as I haue at last found by experience in my selfe who haue but since my late Trauels neither apprehended what TIME is nor vnderstood the power and value thereof which verily doth not a little griue and vexe me in that all this while I lost so much good Wherefore I could hartily desire with the Poet O si praeteritos referat mihi Iupiter annos That if it wre possible I might once againe enioy the yeares that are already past whereby I might imploy them as I ought and redeeme them from the captiuitie wherein they haue beene detained But he who once so little regarded to knowe and estimate the Time as appertained is nowe well worthy to wish and want that which sometimes he had in aboundance and vainely mispent Yet notwithstanding I hold it for a speciall gift and grace giuen me of GOD that now at length he hath vouchsafed me this knowledge that henceforth I may better imploy the time which the Lord in mercy shall hereafter graunt vnto me and that now I throughly vnderstand what it is to come out of Babylon to know God in Christ to worship him only to read the Scriptures to heare Gods word to be partaker of the Sacraments and to pray in a knowne tongue which I speake not as if I had beene at any time affected otherwise then now I am but because I neuer heretofore esteemed either TIME or any of these benefites according to their iust value and worth as now I do And in this respect I could wish all men to constitute me their Proctor Aduocate aswell to sue for their ransome as also to teach and instruct such negligent Sinners as detaine Time captiuated how they ought to Redeeme the same how much it concernes and imports them to admonish secure and carelesse Christians rightly to waigh the Benefites which in great abundance GOD hath mercifully bestowed vpon this Church and Common wealth and to beseech all others that they loose neither houre nor moment of any Time or Season For accomplishment whereof I desire all men to peruse this small Manual wherein they may plainely vnderstand learne both how and from what TIME is to be redeemed and afterwards in what sort they ought to imploy the same And though haply some men may thinke that in discoursing of TIME much Time may be spent which though otherwise I acknowledge may be true yet hold I not the Time imployde in this Treatise either lost or ill spent I hartily pray and beseech our Lord GOD euen for his most precious bloud sake which was the price of our Redemption that euen as I wish and desire so this Redemption of Time lost may be beneficiall and profitable to the Reader D.
