houre that Nature opened your maiesties eyes The setled temper of your maiesties gouernament wherein the nycest eye could finde no spot your selfe as the life of the Countrey as the father of the people instructing not so much by precept as by example your maiesties Court the marriage place of Wisedome and Godlinesse without impietie hee can not refuse to auouch but as your maiesties prudencie

majesties Good Towne of Edinburgh is not the lest witnesse of your majesties royall beneficence and superexcellent wisedome which beeing founded in the dayes of that worthie King Fergus the first builder of this Kingdome and famous for her vnspotted fidelitie to your maiesties most noble progenitours was by them enriched with manie Freedomes Priueledges and Dignities which all your maiestie
