By NATHANIEL WOODES

The original of this facsimile reprint is in the British Museum

(Press-mark, 162. e. 24.); two leaves, A. iii. and A. iv., are wanting,

being there supplied by a typographical reprint : see the volumes

" Dramatic Fragments," s.v."Conflict of Conscience,''' where facsimiles

of these four pages, in their original state, from another copy, will be

found.

No other edition is known. It was reprinted for the Roxburghe

Club in 1851.

Nothing is known of the author save what is stated on the

title-page. The D.N.B. makes no mention of him.

Mr. J. A . Herbert, of the Manuscript Department of the British

Museum, after comparing this facsimile with the original copy, says:

"An excellent facsimile. The only fault is exaggeration of the printing

often showing through from the other side of the leaf.11 An explanation

of this defect insuperable under existing mechanical conditions, I fear

will be found in the earliest issues of this series.

The Prologue?Hen whirling ivindes which blor/c with bh ft -in

Shall ccafc their courfc, and not the Ayre tuooue,But fhll vnftirred it doth fanJ, it chaunceth at the '*&

To be infcft, the tructh hereofeuen day by day we prooue,'

For deepe within the Caues ofearth, orforce it doth behoue,Sith that no windes do come thereto, the Ayre out to bcate,

By {landing ftil the dofed ayre,doth brcede infc&iom great*

^The flrcame or flood, which runneth yp and downe,Is far more (wcete ,

then is the (landing brookc.

Iflong vnworne, you Icauc a Cloakc or Gcwnc,Moathes will it mane, vnlcflc you thereto looke:

Againc, if that vppon a fticlfe, you placc,or fet a booke,And futfer it there (till to ftand, the wormcs will foone it caret

A Knife likcwifc,in fhcarh layde vp, the ruft will nurre and freat.

rtfad horlTe, if ftill at racfcc he ftand,

To rciry lade will foone tratuTorined be,

Iflong vnuld, you Icauc a rertile lande,

From ftrccke,and weede, no place wilbe left free:

By thefe examples,and fuch like, approoue then well may wee,That idlenes more cuills doth bring, inro the minde of man,Then labour great in longer tyme, againe expell out can.

fWhich thfng our Author marking well, when weried was his imindc,From reading graue and aunctent workes, yet loth his time to loofc,

Bethought hirnfclfc, to cafe his heart, (omt recreance to fyndcAnd as he'mufcd in his minde, immediately arofe,

A (rraunge example done of late, which might as he fuppofe,Stirrc vp their mindcs to godlines, which flioulde it fee or heare,And therefore humbly doth yon pray, to gcue attentiue care.

^The argument or ground wheron our Author chefcly frayed,Is (fare) a Hyftory ftraunge and true, to many men well knowne,Ofone through loue ofworldly wealth, and feare ofdeath difmaide,'

Becaufc he would his lyfc and goods, haue kept ftill asJus owne,From ftate ofgrace wherein he ftoo'dc, wasalmoft ouerthrownc:

So that he had no power at all . in heart firmc faych to hauc,

TyliM |he laft, God chaungd his mynac his mercies for to craue.*

The Prologue.'fAnd here, oitr Author, thought it rnrcte, the true name to omit,And at this tim j, imagine Kim pmLOtocvs to be,

FiHt, for becaufc.a Comcdie, will hardly him permit,The vices ofone priuare man, to touch parti culcrly,

Againe, nowc Hull it ftirrc them more, who Hull it heare or fee,

For ifthis worldling had ben namdc.wc wold ftraight dccme in mindc,That all by htm then (poken were, our iclucs we would not findc.

fBut fyth PHI totocvs is nought clfc.but one that loves totaJkc,Aod common of the wordc ofGod, but hath no further care,

According as it teachcth them, in Gods feare for to walkc,Ifthat we praclife this in deede, PHILO LOOI we are,

And fo by his dcfcrued fault, we may in time beware,

Nowc.ii a Aurhor firft it meant,you heare it with thi j gaync,la good behilfe he will cftccmc, that he be/lowed his pay ne.

^And fen- beeaufe we fee by proofc, that men do foonc forget,Thofc thmgcs for which to call them by, no name at all they knowt,Our Author for to helpe fhort wittes,did thinke itrery meetc,Some name for this his Comedy, in preface for to fhowe,Nowe names to natures muft agree, as eucry man do knowe,A fitter name he could intnynde, no where excogitate,

Then, THI cornier or coNitiiNc*, the fame to nominate.'

fAnd though thcHiftorie oFit felfc, be too'too dolorus,

And would conftraine a man with teares of blood,his cheekes to wtct,

Yet to rerrefh the myndes of them that be the Auditors,
