HAWKINS THE PREFACE to the READER IF that bee true which the Oratour writes in his first Booke De Finibus saying that those who use liberality get themselues good will and which is most important to live in quiet Loue I hope yea am confident courteous Reader that both these will not bee wa●ting to this worthy Author both in regard of the goodnesse of his cause and the wisedome of thy Iudgement For if you turne over all the writings both of ancient and moderne in this kinde you will not finde any who communicates his knowledge more liberally and bountifully I adde more willingly and courteously onely desiring to deserue well of such as shall please to make use of these his usefull labours Well in this case hath Ennius counselled That what good may be done without our owne de●riment and losse must not bee denyed euen to strangers and such as are vnknowne to us Nor are the gates of the Muses unlike to those of Hecale which ever open made 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 An ever open house of bounty according to Callimachus their breasts as free from envy at others good as full of desire to promote any thing commodious for their progresse And let thy breast good Reader bee open in receiving what is here laid downe thy minde courteous and well opinionated and thy iudgement and candid censure voide of all malice Be alike loving to him whom the love of thy commodity hath drawne to these labours and the apprehension of a certaine way and meanes wholly confirmed For although the Author hereof is rather desirous to instruct such as desire it then blame any other yet must hee needs confesse what with others hee cannot but acknowledge that of so many very few have either so farre as is requisite delivered the knowledge hereof or with such perplexity as that the over tediousnesse of it hath proved too oft the utter discouragement and confusion of the learner Well saith the Arabian 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The lustre of speech consisteth in brevity And the same being true in the deliverie of any art being done without obscurity it may well bee esteemed and iudged how much the Author hereof absit verbis invidia hath excelled all in this kinde as being not onely briefe in deliverie of rules but also by the same having quite cut off and solved all grammaticall figures so great impediments of the quicke progresse of the learner and the causes of so much incertainty and ambiguity either in understanding or writing
