Albeit I acknowledge (most noble Prince) this Commentary to be faithfully and aptly gathered from my ordinary readings: yet in regard it was polished by another hand; at the first I feared, lest being published under the title of your name, it might seem I had not furnished my self with a present worthy of your Majesty. But one special reason among others, in the end freed me from this fear; namely, that as this Princely Prophet descended of the blood Royal; and a most honourable Ambassador of Christ the Sovereign King, suited well with your person: so I hoped that my labours which I have taken in expounding his prophecies, would be accepted and esteemed of you.
