An Admonition to the Reader vpon the precedent Satyres.
Who
will not be reprou'd, it's to be fear'd,
Scornes to amend, or to redeeme the time;
For spotlesse Vertue neuer there appear'd,
Where true Humility, that fruitfull vine
Hath no plantation, for it cannot be,
Grace should haue growth but by Humilitie.
Scornes to amend, or to redeeme the time;
For spotlesse Vertue neuer there appear'd,
Where true Humility, that fruitfull vine
Hath no plantation, for it cannot be,
Grace should haue growth but by Humilitie.
Let each man then into his errors looke,
And with a free acknowledgement confesse;
That there are more Errataes in his booke,
Then th' crabbedst Satyre can in lines expresse:
For this will better Him, and make Him grow
In grace with Vertue, whom He knowes not now.
And with a free acknowledgement confesse;
That there are more Errataes in his booke,
Then th' crabbedst Satyre can in lines expresse:

In grace with Vertue, whom He knowes not now.

These my vnpolish'd Satyres I commend,
To thy protection, not that I do feare
Thy censure otherwise then as a friend,
For I am secure of censure I may sweare,
But for forme sake: if shou't accept them do,
If not, I care not how the world go.
To thy protection, not that I do feare
Thy censure otherwise then as a friend,

Thine if thine owne,
Musophilus.
Silentio culpa crescit.
