custom_n much_o use_v by_o the_o ancient_a writer_n among_o the_o greek_n and_o roman_n to_o dedicate_v their_o book_n to_o their_o most_o particular_a friend_n and_o sometime_o to_o entitle_v and_o call_v they_o by_o their_o friend_n name_n in_o our_o age_n wherein_o we_o either_o do_v or_o shall_v imitate_v antiquity_n in_o all_o commendable_a thing_n this_o laudable_a custom_n be_v either_o whole_o lay_v aside_o or_o practise_v by_o so_o few_o that_o they_o almost_o escape_v observance_n if_o indeed_o this_o method_n of_o dedicate_a book_n be_v change_v into_o a_o better_a i_o shall_v have_v no_o reason_n to_o complain_v but_o rather_o to_o applaud_v the_o happy_a genius_n of_o our_o time_n for_o outshine_v the_o bright_a day_n of_o antiquity_n but_o most_o assure_o we_o can_v find_v no_o cause_n for_o such_o triumph_n the_o dedication_n now_o make_v in_o england_n and_o france_n which_o two_o country_n in_o this_o age_n we_o may_v parallel_v with_o the_o forementioned_a greece_n and_o italy_n upon_o the_o score_n of_o excellence_n in_o wit_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o europe_n our_o dedication_n i_o say_v be_v so_o full_a of_o nauseous_a and_o fulsome_a flattery_n and_o most_o of_o they_o so_o general_o make_v up_o of_o about_o a_o dozen_o long_a word_n various_o turn_v and_o disperse_v that_o for_o my_o part_n i_o wonder_v how_o any_o man_n can_v proceed_v any_o further_a in_o a_o book_n of_o such_o small_a hope_n but_o must_v needs_o lay_v it_o down_o and_o choose_v rather_o to_o go_v to_o bounding-stone_n with_o augustus_n nay_o this_o cry_a sin_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v come_v to_o that_o pass_n that_o even_o our_o poet_n who_o be_v make_v and_o frame_v on_o purpose_n in_o such_o a_o make_v as_o only_o to_o lash_v vice_n with_o the_o severe_a satyr_n be_v yet_o most_o abominable_o guilty_a of_o this_o crime_n when_o a_o excellent_a comedy_n have_v appear_v on_o the_o stage_n for_o some_o time_n and_o perhaps_o do_v the_o work_n of_o a_o hundred_o homily_n in_o visit_v and_o reclaim_v mankind_n from_o their_o evil_a way_n it_o come_v forth_o in_o print_n and_o all_o be_v spoil_v again_o by_o a_o wicked_a dedication_n in_o the_o beginning_n which_o propagat●●_n atheism_n so_o that_o no_o man_n can_v believe_v the_o poet_n be_v honest_a and_o speak_v his_o mind_n in_o the_o play_n while_o he_o talk_v so_o lewd_o and_o
