Who, as he was a happie
imitator of Nature, was a most gentle expresser of it. His mind
and hand went together: And what he thought, he uttered with that
easinesse, that wee have scarse received from him a blot in his
papers. But it is not our province, who onely gather his works, and
give them you, to praise him. It is yours that reade him. And there
we hope, to your divers capacities, you will finde enough, both to
draw, and hold you : for his wit can no more lie hid, then it could
be lost. Reade him, therefore; and againe, and againe : And if then
you doe not like him, surely you are in some manifest danger, not
to understand him. And so we leave you to other of his Friends,
whom if you need, can bee your guides : if you neede them not,
you can leade your selves, and others. And such Readers we wish
him.
