,Reat and manifold were the bldfings ( mo(V dread foveraigne)
which almighty GoD,the Father of all mercies, beftowed upon
us thepeopleof ENGLAND, whenfirfthe fent yourMa/efties
Royall perfon to rule and reigne over us. For \vhereas it was
the expectation of many, who wifhed not well unto our SIGN,
SABETH
Would
which way they were to walk, and that it fhould hardly be known, who was to
direct the unfetled ftate: the appearance of your M A j E s T i E , as of the funne in
his ftrength, inftantly difpelled thofe fuppofed and furmifed mifts, and gave un-
to all that were well affected, exceeding caufe of comfort, efpecially when we
beheld the government eftabliflied in your Hi G H N E s , and your hopefull feed,
by an undoubted title, and this alfo accompanied with peace and tranquillitie at
home and abroad.
But amongft all our / oyes there was no one that more filled our hearts,then the
blefled continuance of the preaching of Go D s facred word amongft us, which
is that ineftimable treafure, which excelleth all the riches of the earth, becaufe
the fruit thereof extendeth it felf, not onely to the time /"pent in this tranfitory
world, but direfteth and difpofeth men unto that eternall happinefle which is
above in heaven.
Then not to fufFer this to fall to the ground,but rather to take it up,and to con-
tinue it in that ftate, wherein the famous predeceflbur of your Hi G H N E s did
leave it: nay,to go forward with the confidence and refolution of a man in main-
taining the truth of CHR i s T, and propagating it farre and neare, is that which
hath fo bound and firmly knit the hearts of all your MAJE STIE s loyall and
religious people unto you, that your very name is precious among theni,their eye
doth behold you with comfort, and they blefie you in their hearts, as that fanfti-
fied perfon, who under GOD, is the immediate authour of their true happineffe.
And this their contentment doth not diminifh or decay,but every day increafeth
f 2 and-
and taketh ftrength, when they obferve that the zeal of your M A j E s T r %
towards the houie of GOD, doth not flack or go backward, but is more and
mpre kindled, manifefting it fclf abroad in the fur theft parts of Cbriflendonte^ by
writing in defence of the truth, fwhich hath given fuch a blow unto that man of
finne, as will not be healed ) and every day at home, by refigious and learned dif-
courfe, by frequenting the houle of G o D, by hearing the word preached , by
cheriihinc the teachers thereof,by caring for the Church as a moft tender and le-
ving nurung Father.
There are infinke arguments of this right Chriftian and religious affcftion in
your M A j t s T i E: but none is more forcible to declare it to others,, then the
vehement and perpetuated defire of the accomplifhing and publifhing of this
work, which now with all humilitie we prefent unto your MAJE s T i E. For
when your Highnefle had once out of deep judgement apprehended how con-
venient it was, that out of the originall facred tongues, together with compa-
ring of the labours , both in our own and other forrein language , of many
worthy men who went before us, there fhould be one more exael: tranflation of
the holy fcriptures into the Englijh tongue-, your MAJE STIE did never defift
to urge and to.excite thofe to whom it was commended, that the work might be
battened, and that the bufineffe might be expedited in fo decent a manner, as a
matter of fuch importance might juftly require.
And now at laft, by the mercy of G o D, and the continuance of our labours*
it being brought unto fuch aconclufion, as that we have great hope that the
Church of England {hall reap good fruit thereby; we hold it our duty to offer it
to your MAjEstiE,not onely as to our king and foveraigne, but as to the-
principall mover and authour of the work: Humbly craving of your mod facred
MAJE s T i E, that fince things of this quality have ever been fubjeftto the
cenfures of ill-meaning and difcontented perfonsjit may receive approbation and
patronage from fo learned and judicious a prince as your Hi c H N E s is,whofe
allowance and acceptance of our labours, fldall more honour and incourage us,
then all the calumniations and hard interpretations of other men fliall difmay us.
So that, if on the one fide we fhallbe traduced by popifli perfons at home or
gbroad,who therefore will maligne us,becaufe we are poore instruments to make
Gods holy truth to be yet more and more known unto the people,whom they de-
fire [till to keep in ignorance and darknefle : or if on the other fide, we fhall be
mahgned by felf-conceited brethren, who run their own wayes, and givelikine
unto nothing but what is framed by themfelves, and hammered on their anvile;
we may reft fecure, fupported within by the truth and innocency of a good con-
fcience, having walked the wayes of fimplicitie and intcgritie, as before the
LoRDjand fuftainedwithout.by the powerfull proteaion of your MAJE STIE s
grace and favour, which will ever give countenance to honeft and Chriftian en-
deavours, againft bitter cenfures, and uncharitable imputations.
The L o R D of heaven and earth bleffe your Ma/eftie with many and happy
dayes, that as his heavenly hand hath enriched your HighnefTe with many fingu-
lar and extraordinary graces ; fo you may be the wonder of the world in this latter
age, for happinefle and true felicitie, to the honour of that great GOD, and the
good of his Church, through JE sus CHR i s T our Lord and onely Saviour.

if it do notfinde an bole, rs>illma^e one) it is fare to be mifconfirued, and in.
danger to be condemned. This will eaftly be granted by M many as tyowfto-
rie, or'bave any experience. For, was there ever any thing projected, that favoured any way of
newncfle or renewing, but, the fame endured many a ftorm of gainfaying, or oppofition ? *A man
would, think that civilitie, wholefome laws, learning and eloquence, fynods, and Church-mainte-

out of 'foot, as they fay, that no man would lift up his he e I, n, nor dog move his tongue againp |
themotionersofthem. Forbythefirft, we are diftinguifhed from brute bea^s led with fenfua- *
line: By the fecond,we are bridled and retrained from outragious behaviour, andfrodoing
f injuries, whether by fraud or by violence ; By the third, we are enabled to inform antt reform
ethers, by the light and feelingthatwe have attained unto ourfelves: Briefly, by the fourth ,
being brought together to a parley face to face , we fooner compofe our differences, then by
writings, which are endlcfie : *,4nd laftly, that the Church be fufficiently provided for, is fo
agreeable togood reafon and confcience, that thofe mothers are holden to be lefie cruell, that fall
their children affoon as they are born, then tbofe nurfng-fathers and mothers (wherefoever
they be ) that withdraw from them who hang upon their breafts ( and upon whofe breafts agaix
themfelves do bang to receive the jpirituall and finceremill^ of the word) livelihood and fupport

cejfarieufe, and therefore that none, either without abfurditiecanfpeat^ againft them, or with-
out note ofwicfedtiejje canfpurn againft them.

dained to be a reconciliation through faith in his blond, not of the Jew onely, but alfo of the
Greek, jre.*, of all them that were fcattered abroad; then lo, it pleafed t he Lord to ftirre up the
fpirit of a Greek Prince ( Greek for defcent and language) even of Ptolomee Philadelph fang of
Egypt, to procure the tranflatingof the boo^_ of God out of Hebrew into Greek. This is the
translation of the Seventie interpreters, commonly fo called, which prepared the way for our Sa-
viour among the Gentiles by written preaching, as 5. John Baptift did among the Jews by voca.ll.
For the Grecians being defirom of learning, were, not wont to fujfer booths of worth to lie mould-
ingin fangs libraries, but hadmanyof their ferv ants, readie fcribes, tvcopiethemout, andfo
they were difpsrfed and made common. Again,tbc Greek tongue was well known and made fami-
liar to moft inhabitants in Afia, by reafon of the conqucfts that there the Grecians had made, as
elfo by th-e colonies, which thither they hadfent. For the fame caufes alfo it w.ts well understood
in many places of Europe, yea, and of Africk too. Therefore the ward of God being Jet forth in
Creek, becometh hereby life a candle fet upon a candleftic^,whichgiveth light to all that arein

knowledge of; and the~fefore that language wjsfitteft to contain the Scriptures , both for the fir ji
preachers of the Go/pel to appeal unto for witnes, and for the learners alfo ofthofe times to matye
fearcb and triall by. It is certain, that that translation waj not fo found andfo perfect, but that
it needed in many places correction; andwho hadbeenfofufficientfor thlsworlf_ as the Apoftles or
upofloiife men ? Yet itfeemedgood to the holy Ghoft and to them, to tal^e thatwhieh theyfound 3
(the fame being for tbegreateft part true andfn,ffkient)ratber then by making a new,in that new
World and green age f the Church, to expofe themfelves to many exceptions and cav illations, as
though they made a translation toferve their own turn; and therefore bearing witneffe to ther*-
f elves, their witnejje not to be regarded. This may befuppofed to be fame caufe, why the tranfla-
tion of the Seventie was allowed to paffe for currant. Notwitbftanding,though it was commend-

by Oiigen. Howbeit the edition of the Seventicwent away with the credit, and therefore not one*
ly was placed in the midfl by Origen (for the worth and excellencie thereof above the reft, of
