TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE , THE LORDS OF HIS MAIESTIES most honorable privey Counsell.
I have set forth (Right Honorable) sundry bookes, institutions for Iewes in our Christianity. Two, of Epistles, printed afore A. D. 1599. and the one in seaven languages. The other Arch. VVh. caused to be translated. The matter of them I need not to tell. An other work is but part Ebrew: in a commentary vpon Ecclesiastes: & that is translated so much as in English might be. An other [Page] is joyned in argument: that Salomons family ended in the Kinges: and thence Nathans was afflicted: even unto the afflicting of our Lord: and of Christians 300 yeares. That, I have translated into Greeke: and into Latin for Europe. And I think that no Romist, or Law of England wil blame any position of it. An other is altogeather against the Iewes, for disturbing the holy story wilfully; that the redēption tyme should not appeare. That work neded not to be translated for England: because I opened every position of it to England afore. All these bookes I made for the honor of the King: that all Iewes and Gentiles bettered by them, should pray for the King and the Kinges children. And them I commend to your Lordshipes care, to be regarded according to the sage honour of his Majesties governement.
