condemned to die for the fame : wherein be openeth the truth touching thefe deceits.
Aider R. Scot, according to Marke&e your requeft,I haue drawnc out cer- ^^fand teineabufes worth the noting ,tou- this letter ching the worke you haue in hand ; things whichl my felfe haue feene within thefe xxvj. yeares , among thofe which were counted famous and skilfullin thofe fciences. And bi- caufe the whole difcourle cannot be fet downe , without nominating certeine perfons ,of whom Tome are dead & fbme liuing^whofe freends remaine yet of great credit : in refpe&therof,! knowing that mine enimies doo alreadie in number exceed my freends ; I haue confidered with myfelfe^thatitisbetterformetoftaie my hand, than to commit that to the world, which may increafe my mife- ric more than releeue the lame.Notwkhfl:anding,bicaufe I am noted aboue a great manie others to haue had fome dealings in thofe vaine arts and wicked practifes , lam therefore to fignifie vnto you, and I fpeake it in the pre- tence of God , that among all thofe famous and noted pra&ifers , that I haue beene conuerfant withall thefe xxvj. yeares> 1 could neuer lee anie matter of truth to be

doone in thofe wicked fciences, butonelie meere coufe- nings andillufions . And they, whome I thought to be moll skilfull therein 3 fought to fee fome things at my hands,who had fpent my time a dozen or fourteen years, to my great lofle and hinderance, and could neuer at anie time fee anie one truth, or fparkle of truth therein. Yet at this prefent I ftand worthilie condemned for the fame; for that, contrarie to my princes lawes, and the lawe of God, and alfo to mine owne conference, I did fpend my time in fuchvaine and wicked ftudies and pra&ifes : be- ing made and remaining a fpe&aclefor all others to re- ceiue warning by . The Lord grant I may be the laft (I (peakeitfrom myhart)andIwifhit,notonliein myna- tiue coutrie, but alfo through the whole face of the earth, fpeciallie among Chriftians . For mine owne part I la- ment my time loft, & haue repented me fiue yeares paft : at which time I fawe a booke, written in the old Saxon S.lohn toong, by one Sir Iohn Malborne a diuine of Oxenford, Malborncs three hundred yeares paft ; wherein he openeth all the teding the iUL1fi°ns & inuentions of thofe arts and fciences : a thing deuifes of moft worthie the noting . I left the booke with the par- coniuratio, fon of Slangham in Suflex,whereifyoufendforitinmy name3 you may haue it . You fhall thinke your labour well befto w ed,and it fhall greatlie further the good enter- prife you haue in hand : and there fhall you fee the whole fciencethroughlie difcuffed , and all their illufions and coufenages deciphered at large . Thus craning pardon at your hands for that I promifed you, being verie feare- full, doubtfull, and loth to fetmy hand or name vnder . any thing that may be offenfiue to the world, or hurtfull tomyfelfe, confideringmycafe, except I had the better warrant from my L. of Leicefter, who is my verie good Lord, and by whome next vnder God (hir Maieftie one- lie excepted) I haue beene preferued , and therefore loth todooany thing that may offend his Lordfhips eares.
