Baron of _Hardwicke_, in the
County of _Gloucester_;

LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR
of _Great Britain_;

AND

One of the LORDS of His Majesty's most
Honourable PRIVY COUNCIL.

MY LORD,

The good Reception these Memoirs, which I most humbly offer to your Lordship, have met with Abroad; and the Protection and Favour the _Author_ has obtain'd at one of the Chief Protestant Courts of EUROPE; encourage me, tho' with the profoundest Submission, to intreat your Lordship's favourable Acceptance of this _Translation_.

'Tis, my Lord, the only Homage I am capable of paying your Lordship, and the best Testimony I can give with what Zeal and Pleasure I join in the Congratulation of the Public for that illustrious Regard paid to your Lordship's Merit, and Their Wishes, by his SACRED MAJESTY, this Day in Council.

That your Lordship may very long enjoy a sufficient Portion of Health, equal to the Abilities of your Great Mind, for supporting you under that vast Weight of Service which you have now taken upon you for your King and Country, is the hearty Prayer of all good ENGLISHMEN; and particularly of Him, My Lord, who has the Honour to subscribe

YOUR LORDSHIP'S
_Most Devoted,
Most Obedient, and
Most Humble Servant._
