Written by IOHN REYNOLDS VERTIAS FILIA TEMPORIS LONDON ¶ Printed by Iohn Haviland for WILLIAM LEE and are to be sold at his shop in Fleetstreet at the signe of the Turks Head neere the Mitre Taverne 1634. TO THE RIGHT HONOVRABLE Sr IAMES STANLEY KNIGHT OF the Bath Lord STRANGE Sonne and Heire apparent to WILLIAM Earle of Derby one of the most ancient Knights of the Illustrious Order of the Garter MY LORD THe first time that I had the honour to see and know your Lo. was in France when you then began your travels accompanied with your Noble and Generous younger brother Sir Robert Stanley likewise Knight of the Bath who now lives with God And if my fancie deceive not my Iudgement it is equally worthy both of my thoughts and of your Lordships memory to see how propitious God hath since proved to your content and remaines to your felicity in so highly recompensing this your losse of a Noble Brother with the rich gift of a Vertuous Wife your Right Illustrious Lady who is descended from no meaner house than the famous Dukes of Tremouille by her Father and the Victorious Princes of Orenge by her Mother and who being transplanted from France and in the Sacred Bonds of Mariage here matched and incorporated to your Lordship hath by the Mercy and Providence of God in a few yoares brought you many sweet Olive Plants and Branches to perpetuate your ancient Name and most Honourable Family of the Stanleyes And what are all these benefits of Nature and blessings of Grace which God hath so opportunely sent and graciously given you in and by them but such and so sublime and transcendent that they are strong proofes of his Mercy and Goodnesse towards you and I doubt not but in a pious resolution your Lordship reciprocally makes them the cause of your eternall gratitude and thankfulnesse to his sacred Majesty for the same And indeed who can possibly have or conceive a different thought that observes how your Lordship conducts all your actions by Reason and not by Passion That as you esteeme Vertue to be the chiefest earthly Honour so you likewise value Piety and Godlinesse to bee the best and most Soveraigne Vertues That you are confident that in Hearts and Soules which are well and fairly endowed Honour and Honesty should still be Twins or inseparable Companions and Individuals because the former without the latter is but as fire of straw to the Sunne-shine and to shut up this point that your Honour gives the chiefest functions and faculties of your Soule to God and the second to the prosperity and service of your Prince and Countrey that being the true markes of a Religious Christian and this of an excellent Subject and Honourable Patriot And this my good Lord was the Originall cause and these are the prevailing Motives and Reasons why I trench so farre upon your Lordships Greatnesse and Goodnesse in proffering up this my Sixth and last Booke of Gods Revenge against Murther to your Noble Protection and Patronage not that your Lordship is the last in my Affection and Zeale much lesse in my Respects and Observance But that I could give no satisfaction to my selfe before I had prefixed your Illustrious Name to this my unpolished Worke and before I had given a publike testimonie to the whole world in generall and more especially to our little world England in particular what place and power your Honourable Birth and Vertues have deservedly taken up in my heart and worthily purchased in my most reserved and entire affection The Histories which this Booke relates are memorable and mournfull and to give your Honour my opinion of them they are as lamentable for the bloudy facts as memorable for the sharp yet just punishments inflicted for the same wherein Gods sacred ●…ustice and Revenge with equall Truth and Glory triumphed ore their wretched Perpetrators I have cast them in a low Region of language and therefore if they come short of your Lordships accurate Iudgement my Presumption in this my Dedication to you hath no other hope of excuse or pardon then to flie to your Lordships innate Goodnesse and to appeale to your knowne and approved Generosity and Candor as making it your Honourable Ambition to cherish Vertue in all men and to defend it against unjust scandall and malitious detraction Proceed my Lord as you have fairly and fortunately beganne in the happy excercise and progresse of Piety Vertue and Honour and as the hopes are now ours so may the happy fruits and effects thereof infallibly still prove your Lordships hereafter untill it have perfected and compleated you to be a most Illustrious Patterne of Goodnesse in this world and a glorious Saint in that to come the which none shall pray to God for with more true Zeale nor desire with more unfaigned Affection then Your Honours humblest devoted Servant IOHN
