Note , that whereas in the returne Quind . Pasce , the number 21 is twice set downe , it is not ment , that there are two one and twentie daies , but that that 21 day , serveth for two seuerall purposes , viz. for the day of Excep●ions , and the Returna breuium also , and so of such others . Note also , that a writ being returnable ( in the common pleas ) vppon any of the Returne or Essoyne daies aboue mentioned , that the partiè ought not to be arested , vppon the same Essoyne day , the day of Exception , the Returna breuium , or the Apparance day of that returne .

To the curteous Reader . All dayes in banke , in euery Terme , as they fall out , this yeere , ( As plainly as I could contriue ) I offer to thee heere . Which if to thee in any sort , may pleasurable bee , I haue my wish , my purpose was , onely , to pleasure thee .

Nudae gratiae . George Alleyn .

To the curteous & studious Reader . Acceptance of a simple gift , in kind and friendly wise , Is matchfull , with the giuing of a gift , of greater prise . Each gift , that euery man shall giue , such price and value takes , As he that shall receaue the same , acceptance thereof makes . For kind accept makes smalest gifts , to seeme greatest of all : And hard accept , makes greatest gifts to seeme but very small . But good accept , the widdowes mites , ( a thing of small account ) All offrings that the rich men gaue , in value , did surmount . Heereby , the poore mans sacrifice , that was a parched cake , As pleasing was , as all the steemes that sweet incense could make . Heereby , two handfulls of water , to Artaxerxes brought , As welcome was , as iewels rich , that were most finely wrought . Heereby , poore Conons nauew rootes , became a greater gift , Then was a stately Stallion giuen , vpon a gainefull drift . In hope hereof , I boldned was , to string my bow anew . And subiect this my second worke vnto thy friendly view . The good accept whereof shall be , the spring-time of my paine : The sommer of my recompence , and haruest of my gaine . Pre captu lectoris habent sua fata libelli , Proque animo capientis habent sua praemia don . H. A.
