TO THE Truly Honorable and Religious, The Lady MARY VAUGHAN,

Vertuous Consort to the Right Worshipful Sir HENRY VAUGHAN, &c. And my very good Lady; All health and happiness.

Madam, these sacred Poems which ensue,
Intended were to follow that which I
Once tendred to your honorable view,
Excuse me that I cannot gratifie
Your full desires; the Stationer thought best
To print these first, next (if these take) the rest;
Madam, till then accept of what is prest.
Your Ladyships most humble and obliged Servant, to command, Nich. Billingsley. Nov. 5. 1666.
