The powrefull perswasion of that nobly-disposed Gentlewoman Mrs . Dorothy Thynne , your vertuous Daughter , whose breast is possest with an admirable hereditary loue of Musicke , and who once laboured mee to that effect , hath not a little emboldned mee herevnto . If there liue any good thing in mee , onely your Onely-Selfe is firstly interessed in the same , I being doubly bound , by your bountie on the one side , and my dutie on the other . Accept then , Gracious Lady , with vnwrinkled brow , the affectionate , though weake deuoyre of him that strongly desires to doe you seruice . I know it is not able Eagle-like to looke with an vndaunted eye against the brightfull Sunne of your matchlesse iudgement ; wherein notwithstanding , if your Clemencie shall allowe it ●●●uourable roome , I feare not the vnequallest front of the sowrest Criticke .

Thus lowly-laying both it and my selfe , the worthlesse Authour at your Worships seruice , I beseech Him that is the Giuer of all things , to graunt vnto you , and your vertuous Daughters , a full confluence of vnited Happinesse heere , and glory eternall hereafter .

Your Ladiships in all humble seruice Iohn Maynard .
