Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Thomas Heywood Now First Collected With Illustrative Notes and a Memoir of the Author in Six Volumes, Vol. 3 of 6 His Play comming accidentally to the Preffe, and at length hauing notice thereof, I was loath (finding it mine owne) to fee it thruft naked into the world, to abide the fury Of all weathers, without either Title for acknowledgement, or the for mality Of an Epifile for ornament. Therefore rather to keepe cuf'come, then any neceffity, I haue fixt thefe few lines in the front Of my Booke: neither to approue it, as taftful] to euery palat, nor to difgrace it, as able to relifh none, onely to commit it freely to the generall cenfure Of Readers, as it hath already pafi the approbation Of Auditors. This is the Golden Age, the eldef't brother Of three Ages, that haue aduentured the Stage, but the onely yet, that hath beene iudged to the Preffe. As this is receiued, fo you {hall find the refi: either fearefull further to proceede, or encouraged boldly to follow.
