Nowe that all this is true and that this is all the truthe, the searcher of all harts knoweth: with whome as I haue allready made mine inward peace by vnfained compunction: as allso with his gratious Ma jesty (whose Christian wisedome in Seekeinge after the truthe, learneinge in descvie = inge it, clemencie in remittinge my iust prouocation of his princely displeasure, shall never dye) soe desire I to reconcile the world to mee againe, by manifestinge the simple truthe: which allthough it were but an Errour, yet was it of that strange condition, that none can more wonder at mee ^ for the same then I doe at my selfe, none can more con = demne mee, then I doe my selfe. The sequells of the action are first reports, that I continue the vse of speakinge still: which by all meanes I disclaime and denye: then a perswasion of some, that this acknowledgment was not ingenuouse, voluntarye, free, and native: wherein what wronge is donne to so sa = cred a Ma jesty as my selfe best knowe (haueinge tasted the fruits of his right Christian and gratious disposition) soe am I in conscience bound, to testifie to the World,sSettinge aside all priuate respects whatsoeuer: withall desirenige men to bee soe charitably affected to mee, as to iudge I would not binde two sinnes together, coueringe an errour of iudgment with a desperate impietie of con = science: whereof if I would haue made shipwrack, I needed ne = uer to haue beene driuen to this exigent. To the end therefore it may appeare that I arrogate noe Such natu = rall faculty to my selfe (as was misconceiued by mine owne fault) much lesse any supernaturall mistrust (which I neuer did nor dare p re sume to thinke) I haue written this breife treatise of the nature of Dreames therein shewinge out of the grounds of nature, howe farre the soule exerciseth her operations in time of Sleepe: which if it seeme difficult and obscure to the ordinary Reader, it is not so much my fault as the matters, which can hardly bee explained, but to the learned and intelligent, especially in fewe words, which is my desire. Whereby my meaneinge is not to strengthen any such possibilitie: but rather by an = 50 by answeringe all seeminge Authorities to the purpose, vtterly to disauowe the same. For the plainer euidence thereof, I haue allso presumed to add his Ma jesty most forcible Arguments to that purpose: all grounded vppon the fondation of Hyppocrates , Ga= len , Aristotle , and the Scriptures: though looseinge much of their princlye life and grace from my rude penn and weake memorye (for which I allso craue humble pardon) But ex vngue Leonem: by this tast you may haue some gesse. Thus haveinge searched mine owne wound with the sharpe wine of selfe reprehension, my hope nowe is that thou wilt powre in the gentle oyle of charitable reconciliation, remembringe, that as Humanum est errare, labi, decipi; soe likewise, humanum est humanis casibus ingemiscere. Hodie mihi, eras tibi: my foote slipt to daye, it may bee thy lott to fall to morrowe. Wherefore as in the Season of the yeere, one swallowe makes not the spring: so in noe ill seasoned life let not one folly make a perpetuall winter of thy loue. For allthoughe in Logicke one absurditye beeinge graunted a thousand will followe, yet in Diuinitye one Sparke of true charitye will couer a multitude of sinnes. Thus not doubtinge of thy charitable concurrence with so excellent and gratious a Patterne, hopeinge allsoe, by Gods assistance, to yeeld future Christian satisfaction for this vnhappy errour, my petition shall bee, that hee whoe hath stayed mee from any desperate downefall, will finally support thee in all thy wayes.
