To the Right Honourable
{Henry} Earl of {Arundel}, and Lord {Mowbray}.
MY LORD,
'Tis long that I have with great impatience waited some opportunity to
declare my infinite Respect to your Lordship, coming, I may say, into the
World with a Veneration for your Illustrious Family, and being brought
up with continual Praises of the Renowned Actions of your glorious
Ancestors, both in War and Peace, so famous over the Christian World
for their Vertue, Piety, and Learning, their elevated Birth, and greatness
of Courage, and of whom all our English History are full of the Wonders
of the Lives: A Family of so Ancient Nobility, and from whom so many
Heroes have proceeded to bless and serve their King and Country, that all
Ages and all Nations mention 'em even with Adoration: My self have
been in this our Age an Eye and Ear-witness, with what Transports of
Joy, with what unusual Respect and Ceremony, above what we pay to
Mankind, the very Name of the . . .
