fuch, as citherdelighted in them, or woulde by them be eafed
of fuche infirmities , as they might cafily hauc beene greeued
withall. You heard alfe thecaufe, 'why hee would communi-
cate tbofe fecrets with the worlde,which vndoubtedly fprong
of a godly acale* toward the common eafe of all men. I there-
fore, bec^aufc hee hathJcept touch, performing his promifc, in
collecting a fecond pait,coulde no leffe doe heercin,than I did
m the firfte part; that is to faie, nomore to (pare my labour
in tranflating it into our natiuc tongue , nor hide the commo-
ditie of fo excellent things, from thefrfc that haue not the vnder-
ftanding of the French tongue, than I did before. And becaufe
you fliould not haue onlic the hed without the taile3that is, the
beginning without the end , you (hall haue heere, no lefle
good and profitable matters, although not fomanie,
than was prefontcd you in the other , as by
