PART II. The Cabinet.

OUTLINE OF FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC BIBLIOGRAPHY.
Condemn the daies of elders great or small, And then blurre out the course of present tyme: Cast one age down, and so doe orethrow all, And burne the bookes of printed prose or ryme: Who shall beleeve he rules, or she doth reign, In tyme to come, if writers loose their paine The pen records tyme past and present both: Skill brings foorth bookes, and bookes is nurse to troth. Churchyard's Worthiness of Wales p. 18, edit. 1776.
