| Dedications to Magistrates in Reformer and Puritan Books
Does anyone know of any (or every) book by a Reformer or Puritan with an epistle dedicatory addressed to a civil magistrate.
So far I have found ones in Lewis Bayly's The Practice of Piety, and Edward Fisher's The Marrow of Modern Divinity.  Calvin has one in the Institutes, but I am not sure if there is anything about the magistrate's duties in it. I will have to check it out if no-one can remember.
