PROLOGUS.

N

OT out of envy, for ther's no effect

Where there's no cause; nor out of imitation,

For we have ever more bin imitated;

Nor out of our contention to doe better

Then that which is opposd to ours in title,
For that was good; and better cannot be.
And for the title, if it seeme affected,

We might as well have calde it, God you good Even:
Onely that east-ward west-wards still exceedes,
Honour the sunnes faire rising, not his setting.

Nor is our title utterly enforcte,

As by the points we touch at you shall see.
Beare with our willing paines, if dull or witty,
Wee onely dedicate it to the Cittye.
