Coat of arms of Sir John Scudamore, Knight
To the right worthily honored and most free Respecter of all vertue , his chiefly esteemde and singular good patrone Sir Iohn Scudamore Knight .

HOw noble , how auncient , and how effectuall the Arte of Musicke is , many excellent discourses of Theoristes deepely learned in the science haue already so confirmed & illustrated , that it might seeme as much arrogancie in me to attempt the prayse thereof , as it argues malice or ignorance in such as seeke to exclude it out of diuine , or humaine societie . I will onely alledge one testimonie out of an Epistle , which that auncient Father Martin Luther did write to Senfelius the Musician , which is so ample in commendation of this art , that it were superfluous to adde any other . Musicke , saith he , to Diuels we know is hateful and intollerable , and I plainely thinke neither am I ashamed to auerr it , that next to Theologie , there is no Arte comparable with Musicke : for it alone next to Theologie doth effect that , which otherwise onely Theologie can performe , that is , a quiet and a chearefull minde . Now if Musicke merites so high a place , as this holy man hath giuen it , can wee deny loue and honour to them , that with their grace and bounty raise the professors thereof ? Or to whome shal we that labour in this qualitie , better recommend our workes , then to our patrones and benefactors ? Receiue therefore ( most honoured Knight and my worthiest Patrone ) the fruites of your bounties and the effects of those quiet dayes , which by your goodnes I haue enioyed . And as the glory of a new finisht house belonges not so much to the Worke-man that built it , as to the Lord that owes it , so if any part of this new worke of mine can excite commendation , the grace is chiefly yours , though the labour mine . But because there is no man more distrustfull of his owne endeuours then I am my selfe , by the weakenes of my nature : I beseech you receiue my labours howsoeuer into your protection , whose worth can best countenance them from misfortune , & spirit defend them , I will onely assist you with a poore mans bounty , I meane my many humble prayers to the highest protector , beseeching him to blesse you with long life and prosperity to his glorie and our comforts , that must euer owe you our seruice and loue .

To the right worthily honored and most free Respecter of all vertue , his chiefly esteemde and singular good patrone Sir Iohn Scudamore Knight .

HOw noble , how auncient , and how effectuall the Arte of Musicke is , many excellent discourses of Theoristes deepely learned in the science haue already so confirmed & illustrated , that it might seeme as much arrogancie in me to attempt the prayse thereof , as it argues malice or ignorance in such as seeke to exclude it out of diuine , or humaine societie . I will onely alledge one testimonie out of an Epistle , which that auncient Father Martin Luther did write to Senfelius the Musician , which is so ample in commendation of this art , that it were superfluous to adde any other . Musicke , saith he , to Diuels we know is hateful and intollerable , and I plainely thinke neither am I ashamed to auerr it , that next to Theologie , there is no Arte comparable with Musicke : for it alone next to Theologie doth effect that , which otherwise onely Theologie can performe , that is , a quiet and a chearefull minde . Now if Musicke merites so high a place , as this holy man hath giuen it , can wee deny loue and honour to them , that with their grace and bounty raise the professors thereof ? Or to whome shal we that labour in this qualitie , better recommend our workes , then to our patrones and benefactors ? Receiue therefore ( most honoured Knight and my worthiest Patrone ) the fruites of your bounties and the effects of those quiet dayes , which by your goodnes I haue enioyed . And as the glory of a new finisht house belonges not so much to the Worke-man that built it , as to the Lord that owes it , so if any part of this new worke of mine can excite commendation , the grace is chiefly yours , though the labour mine . But because there is no man more distrustfull of his owne endeuours then I am my selfe , by the weakenes of my nature : I beseech you receiue my labours howsoeuer into your protection , whose worth can best countenance them from misfortune , & spirit defend them , I will onely assist you with a poore mans bounty , I meane my many humble prayers to the highest protector , beseeching him to blesse you with long life and prosperity to his glorie and our comforts , that must euer owe you our seruice and loue .

To the right worthily honored and most free Respecter of all vertue , his chiefly esteemde and singular good patrone Sir Iohn Scudamore Knight .

HOw noble , how auncient , and how effectuall the Arte of Musicke is , many excellent discourses of Theoristes deepely learned in the science haue already so confirmed & illustrated , that it might seeme as much arrogancie in me to attempt the prayse thereof , as it argues malice or ignorance in such as seeke to exclude it out of diuine , or humaine societie . I will onely alledge one testimonie out of an Epistle , which that auncient Father Martin Luther did write to Senfelius the Musician , which is so ample in commendation of this art , that it were superfluous to adde any other . Musicke , saith he , to Diuels we know is hateful and intollerable , and I plainely thinke neither am I ashamed to auerr it , that next to Theologie , there is no Arte comparable with Musicke : for it alone next to Theologie doth effect that , which otherwise onely Theologie can performe , that is , a quiet and a chearefull minde . Now if Musicke merites so high a place , as this holy man hath giuen it , can wee deny loue and honour to them , that with their grace and bounty raise the professors thereof ? Or to whome shal we that labour in this qualitie , better recommend our workes , then to our patrones and benefactors ? Receiue therefore ( most honoured Knight and my worthiest Patrone ) the fruites of your bounties and the effects of those quiet dayes , which by your goodnes I haue enioyed . And as the glory of a new finisht house belonges not so much to the Worke-man that built it , as to the Lord that owes it , so if any part of this new worke of mine can excite commendation , the grace is chiefly yours , though the labour mine . But because there is no man more distrustfull of his owne endeuours then I am my selfe , by the weakenes of my nature : I beseech you receiue my labours howsoeuer into your protection , whose worth can best countenance them from misfortune , & spirit defend them , I will onely assist you with a poore mans bounty , I meane my many humble prayers to the highest protector , beseeching him to blesse you with long life and prosperity to his glorie and our comforts , that must euer owe you our seruice and loue .
