I know, that to a Man of your religious Inclination, a devine Argument would have byn much more Wellcom; And such a one (good Sir) have I upon the Anvile for you, but it requires some-what a more Consolatorie time to fashion it:  Being therefore by the Wise-mans rule (That sales there is a time for all thinges) encouraged, I hope it will not be much in-oportune, after a Season so sad, to present you with a Matter Recreative.  Well knowing, that you that know well how to bestow all your howers, will (in yo’r release from higher Studies) not think a litle peece of time lost, in casting, upon this Comedie, yo’r Smile, and upon him, that (in all dutie) submits it to yo’r generous Acceptaunce, your Noble Favo’r, as upon one that shall still rejoyce to be esteemed
                Your Commaunded Beades-man
                        Ralph Crane.
