=Touching nowe our |Familiar Letters|, they also are to bee drawne
vnder their seuerall titles, as |Narratorie|, and |Nunciatorie|,
somewhat falling into the demonstratiue kind before remembred,
wherein we expresse and declare to those farre from vs, the matters
or newes presentlie in hand amongst vs: |Gratulatorie|, wherein wee
reioyce each with others of the good happes of fortune betiding vs.
|Remuneratorie|, being a gratefull relation of cortesies, benefites
or good turnes receiued. |Iocatorie|, wherewith by a pleasant and
swéete kinde of deliuerie of some pretie conceit or iest, the minde is
recreated. |Obiurgatorie|, in which wee rebuke the ill demeanours of
our children, seruants, kindred, or acquaintance. |Mandatorie|, whereby
wee commit expreslie our affaires to such as we haue authoritie, either
to commaunde or intreate to be dispatched. To these and the others
before mentioned are manie Epistles |Responsorie|, the titles whereof
cannot be certaine, but examples and occasions plentifull: all which
I referre to their peculiar places each one, as they are suted forth
to be in their kindes deliuered. And now will we passe vnto the other
hereafter to bee obserued in deliuerie of Examples, accordant vnto the
seuerall titles of all these forenamed Epistles, and first of Epistles
|Descriptorie|.
