    BIBLE, onteyiung the Old Teffarmen | i | TO THE MOST ee AND MIGHTIE| Prince, [ames by the grace of God King of Great Britaine, France and Ireland, ! Defender of the Faith, &c. THE TRANSLATORS OF THE BIBLE, wish Grace, Mercie, and Peace, through lesvs Curisr our Lorp. Reat and manifold were the blessings (most dread| Soueraigne) which Almighty Gop, the Fath of all Mercies, bestowed vpon vs the people aff @ ENGuAND, when first he sent your Maiesties Royall person to rule and raigne ouer us. For whereas it was the expectation of many, who| wished not well vnto our Sron, that vpon the| setting of that bright Occidentall Starre Queene Evizasets of most happy memory, 50! thicke and palpable cloudes of darkenesse would so haue ouershadowed this land, that men should haue bene in doubt which way they were to| walke, and that it should hardly be knowen, who was to direct the vnsetled State: the appearance of your MAuesTIE, as of the Suxze in his strength, ‘instantly dispelled those supposed and surmised mists, and gaue vnto alll that were well affected, exceeding cause of comfort; especially when we be-| held the gouernment established in your H1cuNesse, and your hope- full Seed, by an vndoubted Title, and this also accompanied with Peace! land tranquillitie, at home and abroad. But amongst all our Ioyes, there was no one that more filled our hearts, then the blessed continuance of the Preaching of Gops sacred word a- mongst vs, which is that inestimable treasure, which excelleth all the rich of theearth, because the fruit thereofextendethit selfe, not onely tothetime| spent in this transitory world, but directeth and disposeth men nto that: Eternall happinesse which is aboue in Heauen. Then, not tosuffer this to fall totheground, but rather to takeit vp, and ito continue it in thatstate, wherein the famous predecessour of your Hiex- ‘wns did leaue it; Nay, to goe forward with the confidence and reso-| lution The Epiftle lution of a man in maintaining the traeth of Cunisr, and propagating it| farre and neere, is that which hath so bound and firmely knit the hearts. fall your Marestizs loyall and Religious people vnto you, that your! very Name is precious among them, their eye doth behold you with] |comfort, and they blesse you in their hearts, as that sanctified person, whol |vnder Goo, is the immediate authour of their true happinesse. And this| their contentment doeth not diminish or decay, but euery day increaseth| land taketh strength, when they obserue that the zeale of your Maiestie to-| lwards the house of Gop, doth not slacke or goc backward, but is more aud] lmore kindled, manifesting it selfe abroad in the furthest parts of Christen. dome, by writing in defence of the Trueth, (which hath giuen such a blow |rnto that man of Sine, as will not be healed) and euery day at home, by| Religious and learned discourse, by frequenting the house of Gop, by, hearing the word preached, by cherishing the teachers therof, by caring! for the Church as a most tender and louing nourcing Father. ‘There are infinite arguments of this right Christian and Rel fection in your Maresti£: but none is more forcible to declare it to o-| thers, then the vehement and perpetuated desire of the accomplishing and| \publishing of this W orke, which now with all humilitie we present vnto| lyour Matesrie. For when your Highnesse had once out of deepe indg-| Iment apprehended, how conuenient it was, That out of the Originall s2- lcred tongues, together with comparing of the labours, both in our owne| land other forreigne Languages, of many worthy men who went before vs, there should be one more exact Translation of the holy Scriptures into the| English tongue; your Matestie did neuer desist, to vige and to excite! Ithose to whom it was commended, that the worke might be hastened, and| |that the businesse might be expedited in so decent a maner, as a matter of jsuch importance might iustly require. And now at last, by the Mercy of Gop, and the continuance of our La-| lbours, it being brought vnto such a conclusion, as that we haue great hope| that the Church of Hngland shall reape good fruit thereby; we hold it our \duety to offer it to your Matestis, not onely as to our King and Soue-| lraigne, but as to the principall moouer and A.utbor of the Worke.
