Sir,
I Shall need all your Grace's Humanity and Good Nature, to gain Excuse for the Liberty I have taken, in pre-fixing your Name to this Performance; whose many Imperfections, I am but too sensible, will ill admit of a severe Examination.
I would plead, that it has long been the common Usage of Authors (in almost every Species of Literature) to seek Shelter under the Patronage of a Sackville; could I be as certain that the Work, I have now the Honor of presenting to your Grace, better merited your Attention.
