Wherein, to a reader of iudge|ment and capacitie, such learning and wisedome, with a true loiall subiects heart bewraieth it selfe to haue béene setled in that gentleman; as the verie reading of this treatise is able to turne a rebellious mind to méekenesse: if reason be not altogither led awaie captiue by lust.
