To the Honorable, Sir Walter Ra-
leigh Knight, Lord Warden of the
Stannaries, Lieutenant Generall of
Cornwall, &c.

This mine ill-husbanded Survey, long since begun, a great while
discontinued, lately reviewed, and now hastily finished, appealeth to
your L. direction, whether it should passe; to your correction, if it
doe passe; and to your protection, when it is passed. Neither unduely:
for the same intreateth of the Province, and Persons,ouer whose
bodies, and estates,you carrie a large, both Martiall, and ciuiil
commaund, by your authoritie, but in whose hearts, and loues, you
possesse a farre greater interest, by your kindnesse. Your eares,
and mouth, haue euer beene open, to heare, and deliuer our grieuances,
and your feete and hands, readie to goe, and worke their redresse, and
that, not onely, alwayes, as a Magistrate, of your selfe, but also
verie often,as a suiter, and solliciter to others, of the highest
place. Wherefore, I, as one of the common beholden, present this
token of my priuate gratitude. It is dutie, and not pre-
sumption, that hath drawne me to the
offering; and it must be fauour,and
not desert, that shall moue your
Lordship to the acceptance: and
so I take humble leaue, rest-
ing no lesse willing to
serue you, then
vnder you.
