_Sir_, that _Encouragement_ (together with the _Success_ of the _Book_ it self, and of the former _Editions_ of _this_) has animated me still to continue my _Oblation_ to Your _Majesty_ of these _Improvements_: Nor was it certainly without some _Provident_ Conduct, that we have been thus solicitous to begin, as it were, with _Materials_ for Building, and _Directions_ to _Builders_; if due Reflection be made on that Deplorable _Calamity_, the _Conflagration_ of Your _Imperial City_; which nevertheless, by the Blessing of _God_, and Your _Majesty's_ Gracious _Influence_, we have seen _Rise_ again, a _New_, and much more _Glorious_ PHOENIX.
This TRIBUTE I now once more lay at the _Feet_ of our ROYAL FOUNDER.
May Your _Majesty_ be pleas'd to be Invok'd by that no _Inglorious_ TITLE, in the profoundest _Submission_ of Gracious Sir, Your _Majesty's_ Ever _Loyal_, most _Obedient_ and _Faithful Subject_ and _Servant_, J.EVELYN.
