Note 1 — Introductory material
Reading edition
The Dedication of the first edition is precisely the same, except in the concluding paragraph, which there stands as follows:—
“I confess that I lacked my desire to the accomplishment of some speciall partes: but I trust hereafter that shal be supplied, and I professe (if more touching this worke come unto me) to afforde it, in all dutie. In the meantime I recommend this to your view, my laboures to your consideration, and myself to your service (as I have professed during life) in this or any other.”
