TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE LORD, ROBERT Earle of Salisburie, Vicount Cranborn, Barron of Essingdon, Principall Secretarie to the Kings most Excellent Maiestie, Maister of the Courtes of wardes and Liueries, Chancelor of the most famous Vniuersity of Cambridge, Knight of the most Noble Order of the Garter, and one of his Maiesties most Honourable Priuie Councell.
PLato and Aristotle, the profoundest of their times, thought the best education to bee defectiue, without knowledge in Musicke, and Cicero reporteth, that although Themistocles was endowed with many graces, yet was hee the lesse esteemed, being ignorant thereof, and such regard hath all antiquity had thereto that wee not onely find them to loue, but practise it, for amongst the rest, Saint Augustine recordeth that S. Ambrose Bishoppe of Millan, who ouerwatcht the Church, (then vnder persecution of the Arrians) intertainde [Page] the time with songes and Musicke, and though the death of Nero, Tacit. was exceeding ioyfull to the people, yet was it much lamented, that his excellency in Musicke, should perish with him: which when I consider (Right Honorable) together with the worthy approbation you haue giuen to many professors of the same. I am not onely encouraged, still to practise, but willingly to publish these songes, (as the badges of my affection) to all posterity: And for, because those things are most embraced; which men find approued, by the voice of greatnesse, I therefore, ambitiously thought it best, to single out your Honor, being best able to protect them, hopefully assuring my selfe, that your spirites, (which are incombred with many cares) may a little bee delighted in the hearing of these songes, which if they may attaine, I your Honors humble votarie, shall be highly fortunate, and thereby the rather perswaded to liue and die,
