To
the
right
honorable
Sir
Henry
Ratclif
,
Knight
,
Earle
of
Sussex
,
Vicount
Fytz-water
,
Lord
of
Egremount

RIGHT
NOBLE
EARLE
,
in
former
times
,
it
was
held
so
deepe
an
office
of
iustice
,
to
eternize
the
memories
of
worthie
personages
deceased
,
with
sumptuous
monuments
,
and
learned
Epitaphes
,
as
in
the
ouerthrowes
of
warre
,
the
dead
were
ransomed
,
to
haue
honorable
funerals
,
at
as
hye
a
price
,
as
the
liuing
Captaines
,
in
hope
of
further
seruice
.
One
of
the
chiefe
of
the
seauen
wonders
of
the
world
,
was
the
sumptuous
sepulchre
of
king
Mausolus
,
which
his
louing
wife
Artimisia
caused
to
be
erected
:
and
in
aduantage
,
she
hyred
with
rich
rewardes
the
most
famous
Poets
of
Grece
to
register
his
life
&
vertues
.
The
performing
of
these
louing
and
naturall
dueties
is
the
cause
,
that
the
memory
of
so
many
famous
men
(
long
since
ingraued
)
is
at
this
day
so
fresh
,
and
to
posteritie
the
incouragement
to
vertue
so
great
.
And
to
say
the
truth
,
the
Cronicles
of
good
mens
actes
,
are
the
guydes
of
wel
doing
:
on
the
other
side
,
the
blaming
of
vitious
deedes
,
is
the
bridle
of
euill
attempts
.
The
noble
Emperor
Alexander
called
Seuerus
,
would
often
times
say
,
that
his
firmest
motions
to
do
well
proceeded
of
this
cause
,
that
Historiographers
should
write
well
of
him
,
by
the
warrant
of
good
desart
,
and
furthermore
hee
feared
to
iniury
any
wryter
,
lest
he
should
defame
him
through
a
froward
and
malicious
disposition
.
Your
Honorable
Lordship
in
solemnising
most
sumptuously
the
funerals
of
the
thrise
noble
Lord
and
your
deare
brother
,
the
late
Earle
of
Sussex
,
fully
assureth
the
world
,
that
you
regarded
his
worthinesse
farre
more
then
his
wealth
.
And
to
giue
him
his
right
,
the
full
report
of
his
vertues
,
would
be
a
taske
as
troublesome
,
as
to
gase
against
the
Sunne
painefull
.
But
for
that
in
greatest
things
,
it
sufficeth
to
show
a
good
will
:
Much
moued
by
the
passion
of
a
common
sorrow
for
the
death
of
so
gracious
a
Lord
,
but
farre
more
by
the
generall
bruite
of
his
diuine
and
heroicall
vertues
:
I
haue
written
this
small
remembrance
of
his
mightie
merits
,
no
better
garnished
,
then
precious
stones
set
in
brasse
:
protesting
that
I
onely
haue
re●●ued
my
Instructions
of
vpright
fame
:
stopping
one
of
my
eares
when
affection
praysed
:
and
the
other
when
enuy
detracted
.
So
that
(
right
honorable
)
you
may
greatly
pacifie
your
naturall
sorrow
with
this
precious
comforte
.
That
this
briefe
regester
of
his
worthynes
common
to
the
world
:
May
be
an
Image
of
honor
to
the
wise
:
which
present
I
humbly
present
vnder
the
protection
of
your
Lordship
,
as
the
shadow
of
your selfe
.
Being
the
heire
of
your
magnanimous
brothers
honours
by
law
,
and
of
his
vertues
by
nature
.
No
more
but
the
Lord
protect
your
Lordship
in
health
and
happines
.
Redie
to
do
your
Honor
seruice
.
George
Whetstons
