<TITLE THE CARDINAL.> <SN TO MY WORTHILY HONORED FRIEND G.B. ESQ;> SIR, I DID SUFFER AT THE FIRST SOME CONTENTION WITHIN ME, AND LOOKING UPON MY SELF, WAS INCLINED TO STIFLE MY AMBITIOUS THOUGHTS IN THIS DEDICATION; BUT WHEN SOME TIME, AND A HAPPY CONVERSATION, HAD PREFERRED ME TO MORE ACQUAINTANCE WITH YOU, ( WHICH WAS MORE ARGUMENT TO ME, THAN THE FAME I HAD HEARD OF YOUR REPUTATION, WITH THE MOST TEMPERATE AND INGENIOUS MEN) I FOUND YOU NOT ONLY AN EXCELLENT JUDGE, BUT A GOOD MAN: AT THIS MY MODESTY TOOK FULL ENCOURAGEMENT, TO MAKE THIS OFFERING, WHICH AS I CONCEIVE TO BE THE BEST OF MY FLOCK, I KNEW NOT A BETTER ALTAR WHEREON TO MAKE IT A SACRIFICE, WITH THIS PROTESTATION, THAT IT COMES ( AND THAT IS IT ONLY, WHICH MAKES ALL DEVOTIONS ACCEPTABLE) FROM THE HEART, AND YOUR CANDID ACCEPTANCE WILL BIND ME WITH ALL MY SERVICES, AND REMEMBRANCE, TO MERIT A RECEPTION WITH YOU, IN THE QUALITY AND HONOUR OF, SIR, YOUR MOST HUMBLE DEVOTED SERVANT, J A. SHIRLEY> <Q PROLOGUE.> THE CARDINAL, 'C . . .
