that hath drawn me to the Offering; and it must be
Favour, and not Desert, that shall move your Lordship to
the acceptance. And so I take humble leave, resting no

The Reader will, I hope, excuse my transcribing here the whole

Genius. And who can be displeased with so just a Character of one

His Lordships poor Kinsman, Richard Carew of Antonie; but how he was
related to him, I could not yet find. Sir Walter Raleigh had a Son,
whose Christen-name was Carew; and probably our Author was his
Godfather.
In his Preface, Mr. Carew observes, that when he first composed this
Treatise, not minding that it should be published in Print, he caused
only certain written Copies to be given to some of his Friends .
