Draw neere therefore, all you that loue to walke vpon single and simple soules, and that wish to keepe company with none but Innocents, and the sonnes of ciuill Citizens, out with your tables, and naile your eares (as it were to the pillary) to the _musique_ of our instructions: nor let ye title _Gullery_, fright you fr[=o] schoole: for marke what an excellent ladder you are to clime by.
