A never writer, to an ever
reader. Newes.
<i>Eternall reader, you have heere a new</i>
<i>play, never stal'd with the Stage</i>,
<i>never clapper- clawd with the palmes</i>
<i>of the vulger, and yet passing full of</i>
<i>the palme comicall; for it is a birth of</i>
<i>your braine, that never under- tooke</i>
<i>any thing commicall, vainely: And</i>
<i>were but the vaine names of commedies changde for the</i>
<i>titles of Commodities, or of Playes for Pleas; you should</i>
<i>see all those grand censors, that now stile them such</i>
<i>vanities, flock to them for the maine grace of their</i>
<i>gravities: especially this authors Commedies, that are</i>
<i>so fram'd to the life, that they serve for the most com . . .
