Wherefore also in respect hereof, and of the greenness of my age, so hath the flame and heat of my desire been slacked and cooled with the water as it were of fear, wherewith I shake in mine own conceit; as I have not presumed to draw any shaft out of mine own quiver, or to present the world with an untimely fruit of so young a tree: but rather have made choice of a shaft out of the Lords Armoury, framed by the hand and skill of the Lords workman, fit to make the man blessed who hath his quiver full of them.

If yet in this I have been presumptuous, if bold, if undiscreet, if foolish; my Brethren, for your sakes have I been so, for your sakes have I been presumptuous, bold, undiscreet, and foolish, even for you and for your children. The greater is my hope and trust, that these, whatsoever my pains and labours, shall find favour and grace in your sights, and receive good entertainment at your hands; because for you they have been undertaken, and the gains and commodities that shall arise thereof (if by the blessed will of God any shall arise) shall redound unto you and yours for ever.
