To his Friend, H. M.
H onour is due to him that doth advance,V ndoubted truth, with lively circumstance.
M vch of this skill this Authour hath found out;
P vts Sinto silence: questions out of doubt.
H aving pursu'd the cause of desolation,
R aising the hearts sweetly with meditation.
Y our soules may see, their enemies descri'd,
M ans wit is pliable, truly sanctified,
I n laying siege, 'gainst sinne, thy Poetry,
L eaves it accurst, in hellish destiny.
L et not thy conquest die, let's know the thing,
S ally forth little booke, feare no deadly sting.
I. A.
