To the Right Honourable my very good lord the Duke
of Buckingham his Grace; Lord High Admiral of England
EXCELLENT LORD … Solomon says; a good name is as a precious ointment; and I assure my self; such will your Grace's name be; with posterity。 For your fortune; and merit both; have been eminent And you have planted things; that are like to last I do now publish my essays; which; of all my other works; have been most current: for that; as it seems; they come home; to men's business; and bosoms。 I have enlarged them; both in number; and weight; so that they are indeed a new work。 I thought it therefore agreeable; to my affection; and obligation to your Grace; to prefix your name before them; both in English; and in Latin。 For I do conceive; (hat the Latin volume of them (being in the universal language) may last; as long as books last My Instauation; I dedicated to the King: my History of Henry the Seventh (which I have now also translated into Latin) and my portions of Natural History; to the Prince: and these I dedicate to your Grace;being of the best fruits; that by the good increase; which God gives to my pen and labours; I could yield。 God lead your Grace by the hand。 Your
Grace's most obliged and faithful servant。
