To my deere friend Mr. Edward Lapworth, in Oxon.

I am your debter, for once praising mee;
VVherein you vvrongd your iudgement for my sake:
But, I do right myne in commending Thee,
Though from thy praise my praise may honor take:

But howsoere: that Vniuersity
Wherein thou liust, my doome will iustifie.
