TO THE READER.
THat which miscarrieth in the first, is seldom corrected in the second & third concoction. This J finde true in a review of these Notes. At the first, they were raw and indigested, forged in a cold and dull heart, vttered by a weake broken man, who hath his hands full with himselfe, his owne infirmities and temptations, and deliuered to a people, who neither could nor would expect more from him, than naked truths and honestie. Thus it fared with them whilst they were mine. From my mouth, they fell into the hand of an able man, but his shame-fac'd (J may not say blush-full) modesty was too hard for his abilities, and by this meane they wanne nothing in this second digestion. Now how the Printer (in point of distribution, and in a third place) hath done his part, thou wilt easily find. Meane while, all that J can say about so poore a businesse is this: Jf thou finde any benefit by any thing heere, I am made (for I hold doing good the best preferment) If otherwise matters sort not to thy liking, blame not me, who promise nothing, and print (I am sure) as vnwillingly, as thou canst reade. The Lord (whose power triumphs in mans weaknesse, goe along with them and vsus both, and keepe vsus from trifling, whilest Indocti coelum rapiunt, whilest others run away with grace and glorie, as that good man once, Amen.
Thine in CHRIST, Robert Harris.
