the

Surueyour

County

BEinge
entred
(
worshipfull
and
my
beeloued
Cowsen
)
into
the
meditacion
of
the
rare
gouernment
of
our
renowmed
Queene
Elizabeth
,
so
high
and
so
aboundaunte
matter
of
admyration
offered
it selfe
to
the
view
of
mine
vnderstanding
,
that
I
felt
my
thoughts
in
such
sorte
surprised
with
the
consideration
thereof
,
that
(
for
the
solace
of
my
minde
)
I
yeelded
my selfe
a
ioyfull
man
to
set
downe
in
wrytynge
some
superfitiall
discourse
vpon
the
same
:
such
,
as
(
at
the
least
within
mine
owne
soule
)
might
styrre
vp
and
procure
the
prayses
of
God
,
and
draw
forwards
a
dewe
thankfulnes
vnto
his
maiesty
for
the
wonderfull
benefites
that
largely
(
thereby
)
haue
accrewed
to
the
whole
body
and
to
euery
particuler
member
of
this
our
Englishe
Nacion
.
And
loe
,
no
sooner
had
I
accomplished
this
mocion
of
my
mind
(
in
such
sorte
as
you
may
see
it
heere
set
downe
in
printe
)
but
another
Cogitacion
began
with
importunitie
to
assayle
me
a
freshe
:
for
beholdinge
(
with
the
feruencye
of
my
harte
)
the
truthe
of
that
matter
which
I
had
already
compyled
,
and
seeing
yet
(
farther
)
so
gloryous
and
so
plentifull
a
treasourie
remayning
to
be
discouered
,
and
that
,
In
perpetuam
rei
memoriam
:
I
could
not
choose
but
so
farre
mislike
with
the
sclendernes
of
that
which
I
had
alreadye
done
,
as
I
wished
(
and
not
slightly
)
that
it
woulde
please
almighty
God
(
to
the
eternall
praises
of
his
holy
name
)
to
stirre
vp
the
zeale
of
some
learned
and
well
approued
member
to
geue
abroade
for
an
vniuersall
view
,
to
all
Countreies
and
Nacions
of
Christendome
,
in
the
heroyicall
garnishment
of
learning
and
truth
,
an
exact
historye
and
declaration
of
the
same
.
And
in
this
cogitacion
,
repairing
vnto
your
house
for
the
comforte
of
your
friendlye
conference
,
it
was
the
good
will
of
God
that
I
shuld
disclose
mine
affections
(
that
way
)
vnto
you
,
as
also
that
I
shoulde
offer
vnto
you
the
hearing
of
this
matter
,
as
it
was
at
that
time
,
thus
vnlearnedly
penned
:
where
findyng
by
the
like
good
fauour
of
god
,
your
learned
&
friendly
neighbour
,
it
was
recokned
for
Gods
diuine
prouidence
,
that
I
should
require
him
also
to
be
a
hearer
of
the
same
.
Which
learned
man
(
as
you
know
)
vpon
the
hearinge
thereof
,
so
largely
dispensed
with
al
those
wantes
that
by
learning
might
(
peraduenture
)
haue
binne
supplyed
in
this
booke
,
as
that
by
fauoryng
&
chiefly
regarding
the
vndoubted
truth
of
the
matter
,
he
perswaded
that
it
wold
grow
no
blemysh
at
all
vnto
my
credit
,
neither
in
respect
of
the
breuitie
of
the
woorke
,
nor
yet
for
the
playnesse
and
rudenes
of
the
stile
,
yf
I
should
agree
to
the
publishing
of
the
same
in
prynt
:
whervnto
on
the
one
parte
,
the
admyrable
works
of
God
so
exceedingly
,
aboue
humane
reason
,
shininge
forth
vnto
the
world
in
the
royal
person
&
regiment
of
our
most
louing
&
gracious
Queene
,
and
on
the
other
parte
,
the
silence
of
the
learned
sort
(
silence
I
may
terme
it
in
respect
of
that
vehemency
which
the
woorthines
of
the
cause
requireth
)
&
the
more
then
stoical
&
colde
consideracion
of
al
our
english
people
,
who
are
for
the
greatest
part
so
far
from
thanking
,
that
they
haue
no
thinking
of
the
same
:
these
motions
I
say
,
together
with
the
fauorable
censure
&
encouragements
of
your
said
learned
neighbor
at
one
instant
concurringe
,
I
was
zealously
bold
to
cast
abroad
into
the
view
of
the
world
,
this
my
smalle
treatise
,
as
it
were
to
prouoke
the
pen
of
some
renowmed
Homer
,
&
to
prepare
the
harts
of
al
her
highnes
subiects
to
a
further
&
deper
consideration
of
Gods
exceeding
&
superaboundaunt
mercies
,
that
in
the
thankfulnes
and
sinceritie
of
their
hartes
,
they
might
(
not
for
one
day
supersticiously
,
but
for
euer
)
kepe
holy
vnto
the
Lord
,
the
commemoration
of
the
most
prosperous
&
peaceable
raigne
of
the
same
our
gracious
&
dere
soueraigne
lady
queen
Elizabeth
.
And
now
(
my
worshipful
cowsen
)
bicause
the
forces
of
these
my
priuate
motions
haue
in
this
sort
effected
,
the
nedes
they
must
breake
forth
(
I
trust
to
the
honor
of
the
highest
)
and
the
same
not
meanely
by
occasion
of
the
encouragements
which
I
receiued
in
your
house
:
I
cannot
resist
,
but
(
coactedly
as
it
were
by
loue
)
I
must
confer
the
dedication
thereof
(
digested
into
this
litle
boke
as
you
see
)
vpon
you
,
before
&
aboue
the
rest
of
my
beloued
friends
:
assuring
you
that
(
in
the
great
ioy
of
my
hart
)
I
haue
founde
you
so
equall
vnto
mine
affections
in
the
fauouring
of
this
cause
,
and
in
the
comfort
that
you
take
by
beholdyng
the
blisful
daies
of
our
sanctified
DEBORA
,
as
also
so
Ialous
for
the
Regestryng
of
her
highnesse
prayses
(
or
rather
the
prayses
of
our
God
)
vnto
posteritie
,
that
if
I
knew
by
what
other
meane
,
more
acceptably
,
then
thus
by
the
first
view
of
these
my
trauayles
(
employed
to
the
glory
of
god
)
I
might
manifest
vnto
you
the
sincerity
of
mine
affection
,
vndoubtedly
you
shuld
finde
me
so
forward
to
accomplishe
the
same
,
that
the
deede
it self
,
to
the
vtmost
limit
of
my
poore
degree
,
shuld
be
enough
to
make
knowne
what
vnfayned
loue
I
do
beare
you
.
And
wheras
the
dedication
of
all
other
bookes
(
for
the
most
part
)
doe
seeme
to
craue
countinaunce
and
defence
at
the
hands
of
the
patron
,
this
my
small
booke
(
assure
your self
)
for
the
dignitie
of
the
personage
of
whom
it
treateth
,
as
also
for
the
truth
of
the
matter
that
it
conteineth
,
shal
be
able
enough
(
besides
the
defence
of
it selfe
)
to
geue
both
countinaunce
and
commendation
to
your
person
,
being
indeede
,
the
verye
man
(
amongst
men
of
your
place
and
calling
)
whose
loyall
harte
and
religious
minde
(
besides
the
consideracion
of
priuate
duties
of
loue
)
may
challenge
from
me
such
affection
as
best
of
al
becommeth
a
christian
louer
to
his
friend
so
wel
approued
.
And
though
the
booke
be
but
litle
,
yet
the
personage
of
whom
it
treateth
is
great
:
and
so
great
,
as
that
the
Booke
may
sooner
be
countenaunced
with
the
royaltie
of
her
highnesse
name
,
than
be
able
(
by
the
thowsande
parte
)
to
show
foorth
the
number
of
her
princely
vertues
,
much
lesse
,
of
the
large
benefites
that
infinitely
arise
vnto
our
common
wealth
of
England
and
to
euery
member
of
the
same
,
by
the
goodnesse
of
her
rarest
gouernment
:
Some
particuler
partes
whereof
are
(
as
before
is
declared
)
in
these
Quaires
,
though
brieflye
,
yet
truely
discoursed
.
But
nowe
,
that
you
may
some
way
answere
the
name
of
a
Patron
of
this
my
Booke
:
although
the
matter
of
the
same
hath
defence
sufficient
in
it selfe
,
&
in
the
truth
thereof
,
is
able
enough
to
stand
against
the
faces
of
al
the
enimies
of
truth
:
Yet
because
there
is
a
sorte
of
people
,
which
I
feare
me
,
more
of
enuy
,
then
of
any
true
zeale
or
care
of
my
well
doynge
(
as
hauyng
an
awstere
regard
vnto
my
vocation
,
which
in
deede
,
resteth
in
the
Study
,
or
rather
in
a
meane
place
of
practise
of
the
common
lawes
of
this
Realme
)
will
recken
it
a
matter
more
then
ordinary
that
I
should
after
this
sorte
so
transcende
the
limits
of
my
sayd
vocation
,
as
spendyng
my
time
,
or
at
the
least
,
some
parte
of
the
same
,
in
thyngs
by
semblaunce
,
so
far
discrepaunte
from
my
profession
:
let
my
defense
be
so
made
,
I
beseeche
you
,
that
it
may
in
equall
sort
be
considered
,
or
at
the
least
wise
by
you
enforced
,
not
only
how
muche
and
how
largely
●●ue
and
zeale
are
hable
to
woorke
and
brynge
to
passe
in
men
otherwhyles
conuersaunt
in
the
consideration
of
thynges
high
and
precious
,
but
also
how
seemely
a
thyng
it
is
and
how
well
agreeable
with
euery
vocation
to
aduaunce
and
set
foorth
the
high
prayses
of
vertue
and
vertuous
personages
,
as
also
to
batter
&
beate
downe
the
enforcementes
of
vyce
and
vicious
monsters
.
And
for
my selfe
,
I
haue
boldly
to
affirme
vnto
all
suche
discontented
myndes
(
especially
vnto
those
that
haue
the
common
lawes
for
theyr
profession
)
that
the
matter
of
this
my
littel
booke
is
not
so
voyde
of
excuse
,
but
that
by
view
of
the
substaunce
&
ful
scope
therof
,
it
may
yeelde
foorth
a
stronge
and
ryghtfull
defense
agaynst
these
nice
and
ouer
curious
reprouers
:
for
,
as
it
concerneth
the
speciall
prayse
of
God
in
the
Commemoration
of
the
Queenes
Maiesties
most
prosperous
and
peaceable
gouernment
:
So
,
it
is
not
vnknowne
that
touchinge
the
Regiment
of
Princes
,
the
nature
of
Lawes
,
the
office
of
Counsaylers
,
and
the
authorytie
of
Iudges
,
the
volumes
of
our
Lawes
are
not
so
barrein
,
but
that
they
may
and
do
minister
matter
aboundantlye
to
the
professors
and
students
of
the
same
,
whereby
to
discerne
and
to
deeme
indifferently
of
them
all
:
for
whether
we
would
consider
the
good
and
godly
gouernment
of
a
Prince
by
often
pardoning
of
offences
in
mercye
,
or
by
sharplie
punishing
of
offenders
in
iustice
,
by
planting
of
good
&
wholsome
lawes
,
or
by
repealyng
of
euill
and
vnnecessary
Statutes
:
Not
onely
Bracton
,
but
also
the
worthy
and
worshipfull
Knight
master
Forescue
in
sundrye
places
of
his
litle
Commentary
,
verie
copiously
geue
foorth
matter
for
the
furtherynge
of
studious
wittes
in
the
consideracion
thereof
.
And
no
lesse
may
be
gathered
touchyng
a
difference
and
sownd
censure
of
honourable
Counsayllers
:
but
especially
of
Iudges
&
of
lawes
.
Wherupon
I
trust
I
may
inferre
,
that
to
praise
and
extolle
the
admirable
gouernment
of
our
renowmed
Soueraigne
,
or
to
commende
the
sowndnes
of
her
lawes
,
or
to
aduaunce
and
set
forth
the
wonderfull
vertues
of
her
highnes
counsayllers
,
or
to
acknowledge
the
rare
learning
&
holynesse
of
her
reuerende
Iudges
:
so
far
forth
as
they
be
matters
(
though
but
superfitially
)
to
be
discerned
and
descyphred
by
the
Bookes
of
our
Lawes
,
so
farre
,
they
are
not
to
be
thought
discrepaunt
or
impertinent
for
a
student
of
the
lawes
to
treat
or
to
write
of
.
But
wherfore
should
I
thus
carefully
seeke
to
defend
that
,
which
I
suppose
,
nedeth
no
reprehension
?
why
shuld
I
not
rather
challenge
that
liberty
that
is
graunted
to
euery
vocation
of
learninge
,
yea
to
the
lawyer
himself
?
namely
,
to
intermingle
with
painful
trauayles
of
the
minde
,
the
pleasures
of
some
exercise
more
plausible
and
milde
,
especially
,
where
the
same
may
be
practised
to
the
glory
of
god
&
to
the
profit
of
our
brethren
,
as
I
trust
,
this
is
,
or
at
the
leastwyse
was
intended
.
Well
,
if
all
this
notwithstanding
,
these
curious
carpers
wil
neuer
be
satisfied
,
let
them
at
their
pleasures
blow
abroade
what
they
list
,
and
holde
on
in
their
myslikings
,
vntyll
in
the
vanytie
of
their
purposes
,
and
the
rage
of
their
enuie
,
they
shal
at
the
length
be
glutted
with
the
fulnesse
of
rancoure
and
vnciuill
reproches
.
You
(
finally
)
I
doubt
not
,
wyl
take
this
gyfte
as
I
meane
it
,
and
deeme
of
it
as
a
thing
not
vnnecessarily
sent
abroad
at
this
instant
.
God
graunt
vnto
it
such
effect
in
the
harts
of
all
those
vnto
whom
it
specially
appertayneth
,
that
they
,
or
rather
euery
English
soule
may
say
in
the
feruency
of
a
sownde
faith
:
Domine
,
quid
ego
retribuam
tibi
pro
omnibus
quae
tribuisti
mihi
?
What
reward
shall
I
geue
vnto
thee
(
O
Lord
)
for
all
the
benefittes
that
thou
hast
done
vnto
me
?

vnto

Sithence

In

to

Preachers

the

So
as
it
is
harde
to
finde
the

that
more

then
the
Daughter
of

with

hath
welded

In

But

the

The

Great
is
the
honour
that

hast
heaped

and
honourable
in

regions
is
the
work
that
thou
hast
wrought
by

Yea
and
so
much
the
more
hath
the

,
the

Egipt

euen
the

whom

into

of

Gosen
)
and
the
thicke
mistes
of

hath
blinded
the
eyes
of

:
the
cloudy
piller
hath
not
departed
from

by
the
day
,
nor
the
fiery
flame
by

.
Whiles
other
lands
round
about
haue
warred
to
the
destruction
of
one
another
,
our
Moyses
hath
guided
vs
in
peace
:
whiles

lyke
Egipt
rounde

hath
been
plaged
by
the

from

,
syttinge

vnto
the

our

whiles
the

ouerwhelmed
by
the
rage
of
the

:
our
Iland
hauing
dwelt
in
peace
,
in
peace
hath
sent
her
ships
into
Opher
for
golde
,
and
prepared
her
nauye
against
the
daunger
of
the
enemie
.
Whiles
Athalia
hath
murdered
her
owne
blood
,
our
Ioas
hath
learned
the
lawe
of
the
Lord
of
I●ho●ada
.
Whiles
Achaz
consecrateth
his

and
Samaria
eateth
her

on
the

,
our
Eliza
directeth
the

Whiles
Iezabel
setteth
vp
Baal
,
and
embreweth
Achab
with
the

of
the
Prophetes
and
of
Naboth
:
our

gathereth
the

Carmell

to
beholde
the
wonder
of
the
fire
of

vpon

and
replenishing
the

with

This

then
so
worthy

And
now
what

desire
at

but
that

O

thou

&
make

al
the

mindfull

Then
,
as
presently
the
Quéens

gloriously
atchieued
the
trauayll
of

yéeres
,
and
now
the
annuell
celebritie
of
our
voluntary

of

therefore
,
returneth

so
it
may
by
thy

&
not

but
yeere

vntill

which

and

at

Agayne
,
where
much

hath
multiplyed

:
that
thou

of
thy

,
to
leaue
vs
headlesse
and
make

a

and
prouerbe
to

:
but
rather
to
beholde
the
number
of
the

subiectes
,
in
the
dread
of
their

,
and
iust
ielosye
of

bowinge
the

of

,
for

of

rather

in

to

the
vniust
zelousnesse
of
their

gracelesly
swearing
the

Lastly
that
what

of
the
