"Nay, hee doth as if your journey should lye through a faire Vineyard, at the verie first give you a cluster of
Grapes that full of that taste you may long to passe further. He beginneth not with obscure definitions, which
must blurre the margent with interpretations and loade the memorie with doubtfulnesse, but hee cometh to you
with words set in delightful proportion, either accompanied with or prepared for the well-enchanting skill of
musicke, and with a tale forsoothe he cometh unto you, with a tale which holdeth children from play and olde
men from the chimney-corner, and pretending no more, doth intend the winning of the minde from
wickedness to vertue."
