Introductory matter
The Stationer to the Reader.
To set forth a booke without an Epistle,
were like to the old English prouerbe, A
blevv coat without a badge, & the Author
being dead, I thought good to take
that piece of worke vpon mee: To commend
it, I will not, for that which is good, I hope euery
man will commend, without intreaty: and I am the bolder,
because the Authors name is sufficient to vent his
worke. Thus leauing euery one to the liberty of iudgement:
I haue ventered to print this Play, and leaue it
to the generall censure.
Yours,
Thomas VValkley.
