Well I wote that the works of no writers have appeared to
the world in a more curious age than this; and that, therefore, the more
circumspection and wariness is required in the publishing of anything
that must endure so many sharp sights and censures. The consideration
whereof, as it hath made me all the more needy not to displease any, to
hath it given not the less hope of pleasing all."
