SERVANTS.
TO THE NOBLEST
NOVRCERIES OF HVMA-
NITY, AND LIBERTY,
IN THE KINGDOME:
The Innes of Court.
Vnderstand you, Gentlemen, not
your houses : and a worthy succession of you, to all time, as being borne
the Iudges of these studies. When J wrote this Poeme, J had friendship with diuers in your societies ; who, as
they were great Names in learning, so they were no lesse Examples of liuing. Of them, and then (that J say
no more) it was not despis'd. Now that the Printer, by a doubled charge,
thinkes it worthy a longer life, then commonly the ayre of such things doth
promise ; J am carefull to put it a seruant to their pleasures, who are the
inheriters of the first fauour borne it. Yet, J command, it lye not in the
way of your more noble, and vse-full studies to the publike. For so I shall suffer for it : But, when the gowne and cap
is off, and the Lord of liberty raignes ; then, to take it in your hands,
perhaps may make some Bencher, tincted with humanity, reade : and not
repent him.
