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。
