TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE LORD , ROBERT Earle of Salisburie , Vicount Cranborn , Barron of Essingdon , Principall Secretarie to the Kings most Excellent Maiestie , Maister of the Courtes of wardes and Liueries , Chancelor of the most famous Vniuersity of Cambridge , Knight of the most Noble Order of the Garter , and one of his Maiesties most Honourable Priuie Councell .

PLato and Aristotle , the profoundest of their times , thought the best education to bee defectiue , without knowledge in Musicke , and Cicero reporteth , that although Themistocles was endowed with many graces , yet was hee the lesse esteemed , being ignorant thereof , and such regard hath all antiquity had thereto that wee not onely find them to loue , but practise it , for amongst the rest , Saint Augustine recordeth that S. Ambrose Bishoppe of Millan , who ouerwatcht the Church , ( then vnder persecution of the Arrians ) intertainde the time with songes and Musicke , and though the death of Nero , Tacit. was exceeding ioyfull to the people , yet was it much lamented , that his excellency in Musicke , should perish with him : which when I consider ( Right Honorable ) together with the worthy approbation you haue giuen to many professors of the same . I am not onely encouraged , still to practise , but willingly to publish these songes , ( as the badges of my affection ) to all posterity : And for , because those things are most embraced ; which men find approued , by the voice of greatnesse , I therefore , ambitiously thought it best , to single out your Honor , being best able to protect them , hopefully assuring my selfe , that your spirites , ( which are incombred with many cares ) may a little bee delighted in the hearing of these songes , which if they may attaine , I your Honors humble votarie , shall be highly fortunate , and thereby the rather perswaded to liue and die ,

Your Honours most bounden , in all humble duety , ROBERT IONES .
