    J firion of the Hcauens that wehaue ? Befide, that the nearenefTeto ' the South, is not altogether the caufer of good Wines, appeareth * in that you haue about Orleans, great (lore of good and excellent Wine: whereas, if you goc to Tfarjw , twodayes iourncy farther to the South, you fliall findc a Wine not worth the drinking. The like is (as I haue heard reported by Matter D.rD<*/<?,Emba(Iadour for his Maieftic in thefe parts) of Tans, and Rarledukg, theTowne being Southward, with noughtic Wines : the other a great wayes farther to the North, with as good Wines as may be. But admit England would yecld none fo ftrong and pleafant Wines as are dc- fired (as I am fully perfivaded it would) yet is it worth rhe trial] and trauaile to haue Wines of our cwne, though they be the fmaller t and therefore I thought it not meet to leaueoutofmy bookethe ordering and trimming of Vines. It remaineth now (good Reader) that thou take in good part my trauaile and good will, which were chiefely employed to thepleafuringand benefiting of thee, and not to quarrell with mee, as is the manner of the rqoft fort, for cuery fault and ouerfight that hath cfcapcdmy hands, nor to lookc for any curious,or well meafured ttile, wherewith I am not able to fatisfie thee, and though I were, yet were it neither for the matter nor method necclTary. And therefore I truft thoirwiJt accept it as it is, fpecially confidering, that I neither had kifure, nor quictncftc at the doing of it, neither after the doing had euer anytime to ouer lookc it, but was driuen to deliuerit to the Prin¬ ter, aa I fir ft wrote it: neither was I priuy to the printing,till fuch time as it was finilhed. And therefore (though there be faults,and great faults in it) I am not to be charged with them, that if time, or opportunitie had ferued, would not haue fuffered them. mi t m Farewell* ■ ■ y # ; (Jr r $ # -r , (
