To the Right Worshipfull and Worthie Knight, Sir Henrie Nevill.
Worthy Sir, I Present, or rather returne unto your view, that

what you did desire: To commend the worke in my unlearned method,
were rather to detract from it, then to give it any luster. It
sufficeth it hath your Worships approbation and patronage, to the
commendation of the Authors, and incouragement of their further
labours: and thus wholy committing my selfe and it to your
Worships dispose I rest, ever readie to doe you service, not
onely in the like, but in what I may.
