If Forreine Nations haue beene
struck with admiration at the
Forme, State, and Splendour of
some yearly Triumphs, wherein
hath bene but weakely
imitated, and most beggerly
worded: there is faire hope that things where
Inuention flourishes, Cleare Art and her gracefull
proprieties, should receiue fauour and encouragement
from the content of the Spectator, which
(next to the seruice of his Honour, and honourable
Society) is the principall Reward it looks for;
and not despairing of that common fauor (which
is often cast vpon the vndeseruer, through the
distresse and miserie of Iudgement) this takes delight
to present it selfe.
