Overview

This braine-babe (ô pardon me that title most absolute supreme Minerua) brought with it into the world, now thirteen yeers since, a world of words: Since, following the fathers steps in all obseruant seruice of your most sacred Maiestie, yet with a trauellers minde, as erst Colombus at command of glorius Isabella, it hath (at home) discouered neere halfe a new world: and therefore as of olde some called Scotia of Scota, and others latelyVirginia, of Queenes your Maiesties predecessors: so pardon again (ô most Gracious and Glorious) if it dare be entitled Qveen Anna's New world of words, as vnder your protection and patronage sent and set foorth. It shall be my guard against the worst, if not grace with the best, if men may see I beare Minerua in my front, or as the Hart on my necke, I am Diana's, so with heart I may say, This is Qveen Anna's, as the Author is, and shall euer be.
