H Umane Histories have been valued at such an high price that they have been dedicated to the most honourable persons, as worthy of their serious perusal. Plinies natural History to Vespasian. Our English History to King James; the small Treatise which Paulus Jovius wrote, De Rebus Turcicis, unto the great and mighty Emperor Charles the fifth; scarce any National piece but its presented into the hands of the Prince. Surely Divine Histories then (such as this Treatise, The Acts of the Apostles which contain the Heroic acts of the Lords worthies in their combats with, and conquests over, not only men and the world, but sin and Satan) deserve the eye and ear and hearts of a Noble Theophilus of great and small, of all men whatsoever.
