TO THE WORTHY and virtuous knight Sir RICHARD TICHBORNE SIr having so contrived these Musics as their several natures requires a division I could not amongst many friends think upon two more worthy to be joined in this Dedication than yourselves, aswell for your near alliance in blood, love and favour to Music, which never goes unaccompanied with other virtues, as also the many particular favours I have received from you both, having no gratification or token of my love and thankfulness, but these issues of my brain, which I entreat you to accept & take in good part, my chiefest labour in setting them forh hath been to express my invention with as much facility and ease as possibly I could to the end (since it is a Music so generally pleasing) they who bestaffect it, may with little labour be actors of their own delights. If you find in them any matter of worth I have my reward, if any matter of content I have my end, which is nothing else then by some agreeable testimony, to leave in you both, an impression of my thankful rememrance of your love and favours.
