INTRODUCTION. 
 
 JHEN it is confidered that one of the moll 
 erudite and experienced of our poetical 
 critics (Mr. J. Payne Collier) has declared 
 of the prefcnt production (in his " Biblio- 
 graphical and Critical Account of the Rareft Books in 
 the Englifh Language") that " there is no more rare or 
 more curious work in our language, that only a fingle 
 copy of it is known, and that, although mentioned by 
 later bibliographers, it was unknown to Ritfon;" and 
 further, that " nobody has yet pretended to give a notion 
 of its contents," I may perhaps be thought not unreafon- 
 able in feledling it for No. 2 of the " Imam Reprints." 
 But when Mr. Collier publifhed this opinion in 1865, 
 neither he nor the literary world in general could have 
 dreamt that two years afterwards it would be the good 
 fortune of the prefent editor to light upon fo unexpected 
 and precious a mine of early Englifh literature as he did 
 in Sept. 1867, when he discovered in the lumber-room 
 at Sir Charles Ifham's ancient family manfion, Lamport 
 Hall, near Northampton, not only a fecond copy of 
 this work in perfect condition, but alfo many other rare, 
 
 9*7 
 
vi INTRODUCTION. 
 
 and feveral altogether-unknown publications of the fame 
 era. 
 
 This work, however, has other recommendations 
 befides its rarity, differing in this refpect from many 
 other pieces of our early poets which, apparently on this 
 account alone, have had the honour of a reprint. The 
 author's objeft was a highly creditable one, and reflects 
 luftre on his courage no lefs than on his talents. It 
 was no light thing in that defpotic age to attack vice in 
 high places, — to inveigh, as he fearlefsly and forcibly 
 does in the courfe of his '* Eight Satyrs," not only 
 againft the fmaller finners, fuch as bawds, ufurers, 
 brokers, and others of a fimilar difcreditable clafs, — not 
 only againft thofe of a more educated one, fuch as phy- 
 ficians, apothecaries, and furgeons, counfel and attorneys, 
 whofe vengeance he might have let at defiance, — but it 
 was far more perilous to attack openly powerful church 
 dignitaries for their rapacity and idlenefs, and great 
 judges for their corruption and partialities in the admi- 
 niftration of juftice. The Star Chamber was no idle 
 inftitution — its power was continually put in requifi tion ; 
 troublefome critics being committed to the prifons, and 
 obnoxious writings to the flames, with the ruthleflhefs 
 natural to offended ecclefiaftics in all ages. 
 
 This ftrong feeling, however, on the part of our author 
 was a perfectly confiftent one. Not only in this, but in 
 all his other works, there is apparent a ftrain of high- 
 mindednefs and hatred of wrong which cannot but in- 
 tereft us in his favour ; and whether as a humble ftudent 
 of the law, or as under-fteward, and eventually Mayor 
 of, and Member of Parliament for, Windfor, we find 
 him equally ardent in his purfuit of reform. But that 
 his praifeworthy expofures would draw down upon him 
 
INTRODUCTION. vii 
 
 the ill will of thofe attacked was only to be expected ; 
 and we confequently find in his works (particularly in 
 his Addrefs to his Patron, the Earl of Leicefter, printed 
 at the beginning of the prefent work) continual allufions 
 to the persecutions he was obliged to endure at their 
 hands. 
 
 The particulars of Hake's life, like thofe of many 
 other literary men of that early period, are but fcanty, 
 and are to be gleaned more from remarks in his own 
 works than from the information of others. Notwith- 
 standing that he was a voluminous author, as well 
 as a bufy public man, the only biographical dictionaries 
 into which he has gained admiflion are the " Nouvelle 
 Biographie Generale," edited by Dr. Hoefer, pub- 
 limed by Didot, in Paris, 1855-66, 46 vols. 8vo. ; the 
 •' Dictionary of Biographical Reference," by L. B. 
 Phillips, 1 vol. 1 87 1 ; and Allibone's "Critical Dic- 
 tionary of Englifh and American Authors," 3 vols. 
 1 859-71 ; but in all thefe the notices are brief and un- 
 fatisfactory. It is true that a very imperfect account 
 of his works is given in Ritfon's " Bibliographia Poetica," 
 and he is briefly alluded to by Warton in his M Hiftory 
 of Englifh Poetry." T. Park, alfo, in his fupplement 
 to the Harleian Mifcellany, Vol. IX., where he reprints 
 Hake's " Commemoration," devotes a few lines to him, 
 which are marked by that ingenious critic's ufual in- 
 exactitude. In Nichols's u Progrefles of Queen Eliza- 
 beth," and in Brydges's " Reftituta," as I fhall mow on 
 fubfequent pages, are extracts from fome of his works, 
 but they throw but little light on his perfonal hiftory. 
 His parentage is unknown, but that he was refpedt- 
 ably connected is evidenced by the dedication of his 
 " Commemoration" to "M. Edwarde Eliotte, Efquier," 
 b 
 
viii INTRODUCTION. 
 
 who held the important office of " the Queenes Maief- 
 ties Surueyour of all her Honours Manours, Landes and 
 poffeffions within her highnes County of Eflex," and 
 whom he defignates his coufin. 
 
 His fchoolmafter was John Hopkins, a clergyman of 
 Suffolk, and the metrical affociate of Sternhold ; the 
 pair being famous as having (with others), produced the 
 worft verfion poffible of the Pfalms of David. He was 
 brought up to the profeffion of the law, and refided, as 
 is proved by allufions in his works, in Gray's Inn and 
 Barnard's Inn; but as my refearches in the original 
 books of entry belonging to thofe venerable feats of law 
 and learning have failed to difcover the name of Edward 
 Hake, it is prefumable that he was not a member of, 
 but only a refident in, thofe Inns of Court. That he 
 was a regular law-pradtitioner is proved by references 
 in his " Commemoration," wherein he apologizes not 
 only for " fpendyng his time, or at the leaft, fome parte 
 of the fame in things by femblaunce, fo far difcrepaunte 
 from his profeffion," but fpeaks with apparent difguft of 
 his "'vocation, which," he fays, " indeede refteth in the 
 ftudy, or rather a meane place of praftife of y e comon 
 lawes of this Realme." And in the Addrefs before his 
 " Newes," he alfo reveals a portion of his perfonal hif- 
 tory, though there he fpeaks of his pra&ifing in the 
 Court of Chancery. After repudiating the notion of 
 his being induced by the mere hope of profit to publifh 
 a new edition of the latter work, he modeftly confeffes 
 his opinion of its imperfeftions, by faying that it is un- 
 worthy to "carye away commendation amongft the 
 better fort of englifh Poetes of our tyme : And indeede, 
 it is a matter that I ftryue nothing at all to attaine vnto : 
 For if I did, I woulde frequent the meanes, which are

 reading and pra&ife, neyther whereof, I haue bene ac- 
 quainted with to any purpofe fince the firft three yeeres 
 which I fpent in the Innes of Chauncery : being now 
 aboue a dofen of yeeres paffed." His " Toucheftone 
 for this time prefent," publiflied in 1574, mows that 
 at that date he was married and fettled in the country. 
 Of his progrefs in life no direft information has 
 reached us. We firft hear of him in 1 567, by the entry 
 in the Stationers' books of his " Newes out of Pavles 
 Churcheyarde;" and that he had acquired, as early as 
 1573, by this work, and by his translation of "The Imi- 
 tation of Chrift," (neither of which had been publiflied 
 later than 1 568,) and probably by other literary produc- 
 tions, fome celebrity as an author, is evidenced by his 
 being introduced as a competent fcholar and poet into a 
 paflage in " The Rewarde of Wickedneffe," a poetical 
 work, compofed in imitation of the " Mirror of Magif- 
 trates," by Richard Robinfon of Alton, and publiflied 
 in the later of thefe years. In this very rare book, (a 
 copy of which was found by the editor in company 
 with the original of the prefent reprint, and fo many 
 other literary treafures, in the now-famous lumber- 
 room at Lamport Hall,) he is thus fpoken of: — 
 
 " Let Studley, Hake, or Fulwood take, 
 
 That William hath to name, 
 This piece of worke in hande, that bee 
 
 More fitter for the fame." 
 
 As this John Studley and William Fulwood, whofe 
 Chriftian name is here fo quaintly exprefled, were both 
 accompliflied fcholars — the former, who had been 
 educated at Weftminfter School and Trinity College, 
 Cambridge, having transfufed unufual poetic power 
 
x INTRODUCTION. 
 
 into his tranflation of the "Agamemnon" (publilhed in 
 1566), and three other of Seneca's tragedies, befides 
 being the author of other pieces which excited the ad- 
 miration of his contemporaries ; and the latter having pro- 
 duced (in 1 568) an ingenious work, which is alfo one of the 
 firft fpecimens of a " Complete Letter- Writer," entitled 
 "The Enimie of Idleneffe," partly in profe and partly 
 in verfe, and which was popular enough to run through 
 feveral editions — Hake's admiffion into fuch refpe&able 
 company is a fufficient proof of his having attained 
 what he certainly deferved, if only for his perfeverance 
 and confcientioufnefs, a certain degree of notoriety as 
 well as reputation. 
 
 About twenty years afterwards we find him Mayor 
 of New Windfor, as the borough was then diftin- 
 guifhed from Old Windfor, and in that capacity, in 
 1586, pronouncing what is called "An Oration 
 conteyning an Expoftulation," on the occafion of the 
 birthday of Queen Elizabeth. Unfortunately, the 
 Corporation accounts for Windfor, from the commence- 
 ment of the reign of Elizabeth till 1635, and the church- 
 wardens' accounts until 161 5, are loft, but fome extracts 
 from them have been preferved in Afhmole's MSS. (No. 
 1 126), now at Oxford, which have been made ufe of in 
 the valuable work, entitled "Annals of Windfor," 2 vols, 
 royal 8vo. 1 861, by Meflrs. Tighe and Davis. From 
 thefe it appears that for many years Hake had difcharged 
 the duties of deputy-fteward for Mr. John Reddifh. In 
 May, 1576, and in Sept. 1579, he had received the 
 appointments to that office, though probably they were 
 not carried out at the time ; for he agreed to ferve for 
 feven years without fee, and afterwards (Sept. 1584) to 
 be paid 1/. 6s. %d. per annum. On the 1 6th Sept. 
 
INTRODUCTION. xi 
 
 1576, he was fupplying the place of the recorder; and 
 in June, 1578, he is defcribed as one of the bailiffs. 
 
 In the 24th Eliz. (1581 or 2) he is paid lbs. "for 
 drawing a Booke of Statutes & orders for this Towne," 
 in endeavours to obtain a new Charter, which, how- 
 ever, was not granted till the commencement of the 
 reign of James I. In the 27th Eliz. (1584 or 5) an 
 aft, hitherto unprinted, was paffed for paving the town ; 
 and a new market-houfe was alfo propofed ; in all which 
 movements, Hake, then Mayor, took an aftive part. 
 On 7th Jan., 1585-6, he renewed the motion for the 
 market-houfe. 
 
 On the iothAuguft, 1586 (28th Eliz.), "The Queen 
 being at Wind for was received there in ftate by the 
 Corporation; when fhe was addrefled by Edward 
 Hake, Mayor, and was prefented by him with a petition 
 in writing, in behalf of the faid town." And on the 
 7th Sept. following, the Queen's birthday, he delivered 
 in the Guildhall a long and laudatory oration. In re- 
 turn for both which loyal proceedings the Queen, on 
 her departure from this town eleven weeks after, fent 
 him her gracious thanks. 
 
 On the 21ft Dec, 1586 (29th Eliz.), we find that 
 "at the pitifull Complaint of divers of the Commonalty 
 of this Towne for the redrefs of the fmalnes of the 
 market bufhell, Edward Hake, gentleman, then Maior, 
 travailed to Greenewich and thence to Weftminfler 
 divers journies till he found the Clearke of the Market, 
 carrying with him the brazen Gallon, and obteyned the 
 amending of the Bufhell." 
 
 On the 10th Oft., 1 5 88, (30th Eliz.) Hake was eleded 
 (his colleague being Henry Neville, Efq.), a Member 
 for Windfor to the Parliament fummoned for the 1 2th 
 
xii INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Nov. This dignity he enjoyed but a Ihort time ; the 
 Parliament being diflblved the 29th March following: 
 nor was he re-eletted. What part he took in the de- 
 bates is unknown, the Commons' Journals between the 
 18th March, 1580-1, and 19th March, 1603-4, being 
 wanting; neither does any parliamentary fpeech of his 
 appear elfe where. In Browne Willis's Notitia Par- 
 liamentaria his name is mifprinted Huke. The laft 
 that we hear of him is in 1604, when was publiflied 
 his " Golds Kingdome," including alfo an oration, in- 
 tended to have been delivered at Windfor, to King James 
 I. fhortly after his acceflion. Whether Hake filled any 
 office at this time is uncertain ; nor have I been able to 
 trace the date of his death or his place of burial. 
 
 Whatever rank our author may now hold as a 
 writer, it is certain that he poflefled fufficient literary 
 talent, combined with more worldly-wife qualifications, 
 to enable him to rife in the world. But after all, his 
 fteady advance from the poor pofition of a prattitioner 
 of the law to the dignified one of Mayor of a royal 
 borough, as well as its parliamentary reprefentative, can 
 only be explained by the fadl of his having obtained 
 fome powerful patron who found it to his own intereft 
 to forward that of his protege, and this advantage we 
 know Hake poffefled in the perfon of the great Earl of 
 Leicefter, to whom he dedicates the prefent work. And 
 that this eminent and ambitious nobleman (hould fliow 
 favour to a man like Hake, whofe talents and religious 
 feelings had been openly difplayed in his firft publication 
 is not at all remarkable. Leicefter, from politic rather 
 than, it is to be prefumed, from religious confiderations, 
 had put himfelf forward as the head and proteftor of the 
 Puritan party, and to promote his and their views it 
 was neceflary to obtain the fervices of agents diftin- 
 
INTRODUCTION. xiii 
 
 guifhed both for energy and ability. In Hake they 
 found combined moft of the qualities required in a 
 religious partizan, namely, literary (kill, fearleflhefs, 
 profound religious conviftions, a rabid hatred of Papifts, 
 and irrepreffible activity. Thefe qualifications, not 
 often pofTefled by the fame individual, pointed him out 
 as the very man for Leicefter's purpofe, for it is difficult 
 to conceive that many men could be found, who though 
 enjoying the prefent protection of fo powerful a ftatefman 
 would wantonly raife up a holt of enemies in all clafTes 
 of fociety by violently attacking not only their vices and 
 follies (which from being a general charge might have 
 been pafled over with contempt) but, what was alto- 
 gether unpardonable, their religious faith, — without a 
 deep-feated conviftion that they were advancing the 
 caufe of morality and truth, and without an innate 
 courage which would enable them to fet confequences 
 at defiance. 
 
 But whatever might have been the intereftcd motives 
 of Leicefter and Burghley in advocating the claims of 
 the Puritans, — and their Spoliation of Church property 
 might give fome fort of clue to them,— England un- 
 doubtedly owes them a deep debt of gratitude for their 
 oppofition to the encroachments of the Roman Catholics. 
 And this condudt is the more praifeworthy when we 
 recoiled that not only was the Queen fufpedled of no 
 very violent averfion to the tenets of the Roman Catholic 
 church, but that her hostility to the Puritans was 
 evinced on every pofiibleoccafion. Moreover it was high 
 time that fome perfbns of high official influence fhould 
 interpofe for the fake of advancing the progrefs of 
 morality by giving an impetus to proteftant teaching. 
 The aflertions of Hake, in feveral of his works, parti- 
 cularly in his " Toucheftone for this Time prefent," are 
 
xiv INTRODUCTION. 
 
 confirmed by many contemporary writers ; and in our 
 own day , (to cite no others,) Mr. Marfden, in his " Hiftory 
 of the Puritans," thus alludes to it : " The ftate of Eng- 
 land in regard to moral and religious culture was at this 
 time deplorable. The number of the Romifti clergy 
 who had refigned their preferments at the Reformation 
 appears almoft incredibly fmall. Including bifhops, 
 abbots, heads of colleges, and other dignitaries, as well 
 as the beneficed clergy, no writer can mufter up two 
 hundred and fifty : Bifhop Burnet reduces them to one 
 hundred and ninety-nine; and D'Ewes's 'Journal,' a 
 ftill better authority, to one hundred and feventy-feven 
 — a number altogether infignificant when diftributed 
 among the ten thoufand parifhes of England and Wales. 
 It would be fomething more than charity to fuppofe 
 that fuch numbers of the Romifti clergy accommodated 
 themfelves at once to a change fo great and fudden 
 without violence to their confciences." It is not, there- 
 fore, to be wondered at that fo ftrong a partizan as 
 Hake mould exprefs himfelf with fo much vehemence 
 againft a ftate of things which he knew to be fraught 
 with danger to Proteftantifm and Proteftants. 
 
 Without claiming for Hake any higher rank as a poet 
 than that of an eafy rhymefter, who was able to clothe 
 fenfible common-places in the trappings of verfe, we 
 may ftill, I think, without impropriety, affign to him 
 the merit of being one of our earlieft profejfed Satirifts. 
 This controverts the affertion of Thomas Warton, who, 
 from the nature of his poetic taftes, leant more to the 
 fplendid fcenes defcribed by the poets of chivalry, ro- 
 mance, and love, than to the more homely pictures of 
 domeftic life and manners, drawn, as thefe were for the 
 moft part, by verfifiers inferior to their poetic rivals in 
 
INTRODUCTION. xv 
 
 genius and learning, no lefs than in imagination and 
 fancy. Nor fhould this in any way furprife us. The 
 higheft order of" poetic genius, whofe vocation it is to de- 
 pict fcenes of the fupernatural or romantic, the pifturcfque 
 and the beautiful — to elevate our common nature, and 
 evolve its nobler qualities by a fubtle exhibition of its 
 capabilities for the heroic, the grand, and the good — 
 and to foften us by its perfeft control over the gentler 
 paffions and affeftions — revolts from wafting its powers 
 and energies in the fterile and ungrateful regions of 
 Satire, the fole objeds of which are not the Elevated 
 but the Degraded — a delineation of crimes unredeemed 
 by noble extenuations — meannefles without the excufe 
 of neceflity, and follies palliated by no fpark of gene- 
 rofity, brilliancy, or elegance. 
 
 To proceed : Warton aflerts that " Satire, fpecifically 
 fo called, did not commence in England till the latter 
 end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. We have feen, 
 indeed," continues he, "that eclogues and allegories 
 were made the vehicle of fatire, and that many poems 
 of a fatirical tendency had been publifhed long ago. 
 And here the cenfure was rather confined to the cor- 
 ruptions of the clergy than extended to popular follies 
 and vices." He then goes on to fay that " the firft 
 profefled Englifh fatirift, to fpeak technically, is Bifhop 
 Jofeph Hall,'' of whofe fatires he thinks fo highly as to 
 dedicate upwards of thirty pages to them. 
 
 But to this aflertion of Hall's priority juft exception 
 may be taken, for he had been preceded by John Slcelton, 
 who died in i 529; by William Roy, author of "Rede me 
 and be nott Wrothe," publifhed in 1 528 ; and by other 
 writers many years before; as well as, and more recently 
 by the elder Sir Thomas Wyatt, who died in 1542, and of 
 c

 whom Thomas Warton himfelf, in another place, in his 
 notice of this eminent man's works, declares, " that he 
 may juftly be deemed the firft polifhed Englifh fatirift, 
 and that he miftook his talents when, in compliance 
 with the mode, he became a fonnetteer," and of whom 
 Dr. Jofeph Warton, in his effay on Alex. Pope, afferts 
 that he was the firft writer of fatires worth notice ; by 
 George Gascoigne, who produced, in 1 576, his " Steele 
 Glas, a Satyre," lafhing man's vices and follies, and ex- 
 hibiting what is perhaps more interefting to us, a curious 
 and valuable picture of the manners, life, and commercial 
 morality of that age ; by John Donne, a volume of whofe 
 iatires in MS., dated 1593, is ftill in exiftence ; and 
 by Thomas Lodge. To this latter celebrated author, in- 
 deed, Dr. Drake, in his valuable work, entitled " Shake- 
 fpeare and his Times," erroneoufly afcribes the honour 
 of being the firft who published in our language a col- 
 lection of fatires fo named ; the " Fig for Momus in- 
 cluded in Satyres, Eclogues, etc.," according to him 
 giving Lodge precedence as a writer of profefled fatires. 
 Yet thefe were not publifhed till 1595, when he was 
 about forty years of age. And further, the fatirical works 
 of Marfton, entitled "The Metamorphofis of Pigmalions 
 Image, and Certaine Satyres," as well as his " Scourge 
 of Villanie," were printed in 1 598. But an earlier cenfor 
 morum was Robert Crowley, who publifhed in 1550 his 
 •' One and Thyrtye Epigrammes" (really thirty-three), 
 directed againft as many abufes current with the vulgar; 
 and which, I think, induced Hake to fly at higher game 
 in his " Newes." Crowley's work has juft been edited 
 by Mr. J. M. Cowper; but want of fpace precludes 
 further notice of it.

 Though no edition with this date is now extant, one undoubtedly 
 then appeared. This is clear, not only from the author's own 
 apologetic addrefs prefixed to the re-impreflion in 1579, wherein he 
 declares that he had originally published it twelve years before, and 
 to ufe his own additional expremon, " firft made and fet forth, 
 even as I maye faye in my childifhe yeeres," but from the entry in 
 the Stationers' Regifter, under the date of 1567, where it is licenfed 
 to Henry Denham ; and Turberville's allufion to it in a work pub- 
 lifhed in 1568 is a further corroboration.

 Mr. W. C. Hazlitt, however, in his " Handbook," without adducing

 But as this gentleman in his defcription of the preceding edition 
 fubftitutes " ten" for " twelve" years, it is plain that this part of 
 his labours has not undergone fuch a revifion as fo important a 
 fcience as Bibliography demands. 
 
 Only two copies are known ; the one formerly in the pofleflion 
 of Richard Heber, and Sir Charles Ifham's, at Lamport Hall. 
 
 The work confifts of a dialogue between Bertulph and Paul as 
 they walk in the aifle of the Cathedral, divided into eight Satyrs, 
 levelled againft the corruptions exifting among the various clafles 
 of fociety. The following is a lift of their fubje&s : —

 In addition to the information which the author, in the Ad- 
 drefs to the Reader, gives concerning himfelf — as I have men- 
 tioned on a preceding page — John Long's Addrefs to " the Citie of 
 London," prefixed, is curious as containing a lift of fome of Hake's 
 works. All thefe can be identified with the exception of the firft, 
 which is defignated, perhaps metaphorically, a "great conqueft 
 of finne." This was, probably, like the " Newes," a very early 
 work ; and like the original imprefiion of that production pofiibly 
 every copy has perifhed. It might be aflumed that by this ex- 
 preflion was meant the firft ifTue of the " Newes ;" but the way in 
 which the work is fpoken of in the laft quatrain feems to negative 
 this fuppofition. The addrefs alfo of ** The Author to the Carping 
 
INTRODUCTION. xix 
 
 and fcornefull Sicophant" fliows that he had recently triumphed 
 over the malice of his enemies, and had attained the pofition he 
 had long ftriven for — probably the Under-Stewardrtiip of New 
 Windfor. The tone of this addrefs, replete with allufions to him- 
 felf, is fo bitter as to demonftrate that if the author could (harply 
 rebuke vice in the abftract he was equally ready to attack from 
 perfonal motives. 
 
 St. Paul's Cathedral was much injured by fire 4th June, 1 561. 
 A fermon was preached at Paul's Crofs foon afterwards by Pilk- 
 ington, Bifhop of Durham, in which he feverely blamed the pro- 
 fanation of the edifice by fighting, brawling, and aflemblies of idle 
 people. This occafioned a libellous work by a Papift, entitled 
 " An Addicion, with an Appologie, to the Caufes of burnynge of 
 Paules Church, the which Caufes were vttered at Paules Crofle by 
 the reuerend Bifhop of Durefme viii. Junii 1 561 ;" which again 
 was replied to by another tract, entitled " The burnynge of Paules 
 Church in London in the yeare of oure Lord 15615" wherein 
 (fign. Giiii.) we have the following remarks on the fcandalous 
 practices in the Cathedral : — " No place hais bene more abufed 
 than Pauls hais bene, nor more againft the receyving of Chriftes 
 Gofpell : wherfore it is more marvaile that God fpared it fo longe, 
 rather than that he overthrewe it nowe. From the toppe of the 
 rteple downe within the grounde no place hais bene free. From 
 the toppe of the fpire at Coronations, or other folemne triumphes, 
 fome for vain glory ufed to throw themfelves downe by a rope, 
 and fo killed themfelves vainly to pleafe other mens eyes. At 
 the battlementes of the Steple fundrye times were ufed their 
 popifhe Antems to call upon their Goddes with torch and taper 
 in the Eveninges. In the top of one of the pinacles is Lollers 
 towre, where' manye an innocent foule hais bene by theym cruellye 
 tormented and murthered. In the middeft alley was their longe 
 Cenfer reachinge from the rofe to the ground, as though the Holy 
 Ghoft came in their cenfing down in likenes of a Dove. On the 
 Arches though commenly men complaine of wrong and delayed 
 judgemente in Ecclefiafticall caufes, yet becaufe I wyll not judge by 
 here faye I pafle over it, favinge onely for fuch as have bene con- 
 demned there by Annas and Caiphas for Chriftes caufe, as in- 
 nocently as any Chriftians coulde be. For their images hanged on 
 every walle, pillar, and doore, with their pilgrimages and wor- 
 fhippinge of them, I will not ftand to rehearfe them, becaufe they 
 can not be unknowen to all men that have feene London, or hearde

 of them. Their mafling and many altars wyth the reft of their 
 Popyfhe fervyce which he Co much extolles, I pafle over, becaufe 
 I aunfwered them afore. The South Alley for Ufurye and Poperye, 
 the North for Simony, and the Horfe /aire in the middeft for all 
 kind of bargains, metinges, brawlinges, murthers, confpiracies, 
 and the Font for ordinary paimentes of money, are fo well knowen 
 to all menne as the begger knowes his difhe." The Simony and 
 chaffering for Benefices, flightly alluded to above is more particu- 
 larly defcribed in the Satires of Bifhop Hall ; " Virgidemiarum," 
 Lib. ii. Sat. 7, Lond. 1597. Chaucer, in the Prologues to his 
 Canterbury Tales, when defcribing the Par/on, has an evident 
 allufion to the fame thing. 
 
 Several other publications appeared on the fame fubjedt, but 
 none of them were effectual ; and the nave of the church con- 
 tinued for many years afterwards the refort of perfons who had 
 nothing elfe to do, and who met there to difcufs the news of the 
 day, or for lefs innocent purpofes. But this profanation of the 
 church was an old grievance, for, according to Rymer's Fcedera, 
 as early as a.d. i 371, the forty-fifth year of Edward III., we find 
 the King complaining to the Bifhop of London of many abufes in 
 his cathedral, which were pradUfed with the Bifhop' s connivance ; 
 that the refectory of the canons was become the eating-place and 
 office of mechanics and the lurking-place and receptacle of whore- 
 mongers (hodie faEia funt Ceenacula et Trijlega Mecbanicorum, ac 
 multa Penetralia conduElitia et Receptacula Scortatorurn) etc. He 
 alfo denounces other enormities which, he fays, royal decency for- 
 bids him to particularize. See Dugdale's " Hiftory of St. Paul's," 
 wherein it is alfo mentioned that King Charles I. eredted at his 
 own charge, at the weft end of the church, " that moft magnifi- 
 cent and ftately portico, with Corinthian pillars, which was intended 
 to be an ambulatory for fuch as ufually by walking in the body 
 of the church difturbed the folemn fervice in the quire." 
 
 This profanation of the facred edifice is alfo alluded to in the 
 humourous tracts of Thomas Dekkar. In his " Dead Terme, or 
 Weftminfter's Complaint for Long Vacations and Short Termes," 
 4to. London, 1608, St. Paul's fteeple is introduced as defcribing the 
 company walking in the body of the church beneath : — "At one 
 time, in one and the fame ranke, yea, foote by foote, and elbow 
 by elbow, fhall you fee walking, the Knight, the Gull, the 
 Gallant, the Upftart, the Gentleman, the Clowne, the Captaine, 
 the Appel-Squire, the Lawyer, the Ufurer, the Cittizen, the 
 
INTRODUCTION. xxi 
 
 Bankerout, the Schollar, the Beggar, the Doctor, the Ideot, the 
 Ruffian, the Cheater, the Puritan, the Cutthroat, the Hye-Men, 
 the Low-Men, the True Man, and the Thiefe ; of all Trades and 
 Profeflions fome, of all Countryes fome. Thus, whilft Devotion 
 kneeles at her Prayers doth Profanation walke under her nofe in 
 contempt of Religion." In the fame author's " Gul's Horne- 
 book," 4*0. London, 1609, we have a whole chapter on " How a 
 gallant mould behave himfelfe in Powles-Walkes." 
 
 This making, however, of St. Paul's Cathedral a place of 
 public refort may be accounted for by the abfence, in thole times, 
 of convenient places of aflembly — a want which feems never to 
 have attracted the attention it deferved. Our anceftors contented 
 themfelves with grumbling inftead of remedying defects. So little, 
 too, was the real public welfare underftood, that in the year 
 1580, Queen Elizabeth, on the plea that the exceflive increafe of 
 the City of London was a detriment to other towns, ifTued a pro- 
 clamation forbidding any new buildings to be erected within three 
 miles of the gates of the city, upon pain of imprifonment of the 
 builders, and forfeiture of the materials. 
 
 THE SLIGHTS OF WANTON MAYDES. 
 
 This tract of Hake's, which is mentioned by John Long in his 
 verfes prefixed to " Newes out of Powles Churchyarde," is ap- 
 parently not now extant. An allufion feems to be made to it by 
 George Turberville in his " Plaine Path to perfect Vertue," 1 568, 
 in the following paflage ; which at the fame time, proves that the 
 " Newes " had come out anterior to that date : — 
 
 I neither write the Newes of Poules, 
 
 Of late fet out to fale, 
 Nor Meting of the London Maides, 
 
 For now that fifli is ftale. 
 
 On this fubject Mr. Payne Collier, in his Bibliographical 
 Catalogue, obferves : the fact is that " A mery metynge of 
 Maydes in London" had been entered by H. Dcnham in 1567, 
 and an anfwer to it, under the title of "A letter fente by the 
 Maydes of London to the vertuous Matrons," was regiftered in 
 the fame year : their popularity perhaps induced Turberville to fay 
 that the " fifti " (i.e. Hake) was then " ftale."

 Or it may be intended for a work licenfed to W. Griffith, in 
 1566, entitled "Amoofte delegable coference betwene the wedde 
 lyfe and the fingle. By Henry Hake." It is poffible that Henry 
 may be an error for Edward, as the entering-clerks at Stationers' 
 Hall in thofe early times were both ignorant and carelefs, fre- 
 quently obfcuring matters extremely interefting to a literary 
 pofterity.

 The name of the tranflator, Edward Hake, appears at the end 
 of the Dedication to "Thomas Duke of Norfolke, Earle Mar/hall 
 of Englande," &c. The arms of this nobleman, a lion rampant, 
 furrounded by the garter, are accompanied by the following 
 verfes : — 
 
 " Ift Lyons force that Rampaunt yeeldes the fame ? 
 Or Norfolkes grace that beares the worthy minde? 
 Ift Princely race that brings the crowne of fame ? 
 Or due defert that hath the fame affignde ? 
 Sole Prince, fole Duke, fole paterne of renoune, 
 Tis great Iehoue that yeeldes immortall crowne. 
 
 Like as the Lyon, rampaunt, doth 
 
 defcrie his worthy force, 
 So Norfolkes grace by conftant life 
 
 portendeth great remorfe." 
 
 This nobleman was the fourth duke, and fon of that brilliant 
 and unfortunate Henry, Earl of Surrey — one of the brighteft orna- 
 ments of the Houfeof Howard — whofe iniquitous execution, which 
 took place January 21, 1547, during the lifetime of his father, 
 was the laft tyrannical adt of Henry VIII. Nor was the above 
 fourth Duke, Surrey's fon, who fucceeded his grandfather, July 
 18, 1554, more happy in his end than his father, for, being at- 
 tainted of high treafon for his communication with Mary, Queen 
 of Scots, he was beheaded on June 2, 1572, aged only 35 ; when 
 all his honours became forfeited. This nobleman was not, like 
 moft of his family, a Roman Catholic, at leaft fo he declared at the 
 place of execution, whce he faid, " I have not been popifhly in- 
 clined ever fince I had any tifte for religion ; but was always averfe 
 to the popiih doctrine, and embraced the true religion of Jefus 
 Chrift, and put my whole truft in the blood of Chrift, my blelled 
 Redeemer and Saviour. Yet I mult own that fome of my fer- 
 vants and acquaintance were addicted to the Romiih religion." 
 This may account for fo determined a Proteftant as Hake having 
 dedicated the above work to him. Yet a few years after Hake 
 found a new and more powerful patron in the perfon of the Earl 
 d

 of Leicefter, the determined but fecret enemy of the Duke of Nor- 
 folk, who owed his ruin to the inlidious advice of his rival. Nor 
 was his eldeft fon, Philip Earl of Arundel, more fortunate, for he 
 alfo fell a vittim to the artifices of Leicefter and Walfingham, 
 dying after trial for high treafon in confinement in the Tower, 
 19th November, 1595, in the thirty-ninth year of his age. A 
 youthful portrait of the above-named Duke, by Holbein, is pub- 
 lished in Chamberlaine's edition of "Holbein's Portraits of the 
 Court of Henry VIII." 
 
 The copy of this work in the Britifh Mufeum had been fuccef- 
 fively in the pofTeflion of Humphrey Chambers, 1656, of W. 
 Herbert, and of the late Duke of Suflex. The firft treatife con-

 the end of flieet G. This laft part is an abridged tranflation of a 
 Latin tradt, " De pueris ftatim ac liberaliter inftituendis." 
 
 The rarity of this work and the nature of its contents muft be 
 my excufe for the length of the extracts. 
 
 " Looke what is good, the fame wee deride, contempne & refufe, 
 and contrariwife, whatfoeuer is euil, if it bring eyther pleafure or 
 profite, the fame doo we wifhe for, purfue and embrace : Auarice,

 we account lawful trade : Excefle we cal bountie : whoredom, 
 pleafure : fwearing, Jolity : pride, Brauery : deceipt, policy : 
 robbing, fluffing : and (what fliould I more fay) vice we account

 we defire new lawes, new rules and newe orders, and yet no man 
 (al this while) hath minde of a newe life ; no man feeketh to re- 
 newe the fame, nor yet to amend the olde." (Sig. B.) 
 
 In this ftrain the author proceeds till he enters upon the real 
 grievance, which is, (as might be expected,) the Papifts, in the 
 following abufive terms : — 
 
 * And fo the Temple of God, the Lordes houfe, Chrift his 
 Congregation, the very true fpoufe of our faviour, lyeth ruinous, 
 al to rent & deformed. Alas, no faith, is left to fallen the 
 worke to the corner (tone, no moifture remaineth to knip vp 
 the frame with the foundation, Chrift Jefus, our only rocke, our 
 only foundatio, our only head and chiefe corner ftone. Loue 
 is cold, faith is dead : trueth is naught fet by. And that fame 
 fmal number which would faine bee doing in the daungerous 
 worcke, are eyther daunted by their enemies, or difcouraged by 
 their felowes : The zeale of Iofiah is gon, & Demas triumpheth : 
 Amauah & Diotriphes doo beare vp their villanous breafts againft 
 the Lord & his people : Demetrius is bufy, & Simon Magus doeth 
 florilhe : that hard it is to thinke whether the number is greater 
 of feareful fouldiers, faint workmen, & feeble Chriftians, or the 
 boldnes of the aduerfary more vniuerfal, or in tirany more abouding. 
 How rageth, how roareth, how thundreth, howe threateth, how

 that our finnes are fo greeuous, as by the occafion thereof, the lord 
 doth deny in the time of fo chaft, fo wife, fo godly, zelous, & fo 
 learned a Prince (as is our moft drad foueraigne Ladye Slueene 
 Elizabeth, whofe life with ioyned harts & hands let vs cry, cry 
 vnto y e Lord to lengthen) within this Realme of Englad tobring to 
 perfectio that which he hath begon : to aboliih from her people al 
 remnants of popery, & to fupplant the hipocritical & vnlearned 
 minifterye." (Sheet B 4 recto.) 
 
 After deploring the decay of " thofe true workmen, who were 
 fo ftout, fo zealous, fo artifitial, & fo wife," he contrafts them with 
 their fuccefibrs, the greateft part of whom (he fays), " are more 
 careful in building of Pluralities, Trialities, Totquots, and Non 
 refidens, than in furthring of this facred, fpiritual and diuine 
 Temple of the Lorde." 
 
 He accufes a great number of them or" inordinate eating & 
 drinking ; " epicuryous in the hamperyng of theyr owne bodies," 
 but neglectful of their flocks. He goes on thus : " Yea, I woulde 
 to God, that the number were not great of fuche Godlefle Hipo» 
 crites, fuche vnlearned loyterers, and verye pieuiihe pelting Para- 
 fites, which for liuing fake haue intruded and thruft them felues 
 into the Church : who, if they were not cloathed with the 
 counterfaite title of bountiful houfekeepers, ihoulde haue nothing 
 at al wherewith to couer their blockiihnefTe, nor to hide their 
 blindnefle, nor to cloake theyr lewdenefle and trecherye : where- 
 by they fhoulde incurre the iuft reward of their naughtines, euen 
 ignominy and reproche.'' (B 7.) 
 
 " Would God (I faye) that the holye houfe were not peftered 
 at this daye with fuch hipocrites and damnable fort of lulkifh 
 loytering Lubbers, who (notwithftanding their great blockiihnefs 
 their palpable ignorance & extreme want of learning) doo keepe 
 within their clames the liuelyhood of true paftors, and painful 
 laborers: which fuftaine Ruffias, to begger minifters: which 
 maintaine routes of rakehel Roifters, to decreafe the nuber of 
 honeft poore chriftians : which not only thefelues are contented to 
 flop the roomes of learned preachers, but alfo deuiihly doo bring in 
 moft horrible crewes of curfed Chaplins, & notorious numbers of 
 monftrous vnlearned Sicophants, which take the fleece, & ftarue 
 the flocke:" etc. 
 
 He then goes on to accufe civil magiftrates of coldnefs in God's 
 work, of fupport of " falfe worckemen, curfed hyrelinges, and pro- 
 feffed enemyes to the trueth." He deplores alfo the evils arifing 
 
INTRODUCTION. xxvii 
 
 from feeble difcipline, which is "a vizare vnto feareful Magiftratei, 
 and a prepofterous fliift vnto partial Judges." 
 
 Here is a reference to the perils incurred by the denouncer of 
 fuch iniquities ; " Who is not afraid and loath " (fays he) " to dif- 
 pleafe ? yea, and (that worfe is) who dareth to fpeake and is not 
 punifhed ? who finneth and is not pardoned ? Alas, fo mightely 
 preuayleth finne at this daye, that as wee wil not fay, that to 
 finne, it is not dangerous : fo, mult wee needes faye and affyrme, 
 that to bee an accuiar of finne and wickednefle, is the moft daun- 
 gerous thing in the world." He then alludes to fome matter of 
 this kind, which he fays " is fo frefti amongft fome, that it cannot 
 be forgotten." 
 
 But his attacks on parents for negligence in the education of 
 their children, are equally vehement. "Children " (he fays) " by 
 nature are euyll, and being euyll, they are by example of Parentes 
 made worfe. No loue towardes God, no honour of children to 
 their Parentes, nor feare of Parentes in their Children is fought for, 
 had, or regarded at all. If I fhould fpeak of the educatio of 
 daughters, (wherof in this third place I fhould writ) the verye 
 Pagans, Infidels, and Turckes, woulde ftand vp againft vs. I can not 
 tell whether through forrowe, I ihoulde crye out and bewayle them, 
 or for fhame commit them to fcilence : fo immoderate in apparell, 
 fo lafciuious in talke, fo bolde in behauiour, and fo vnfeemely in 
 iefture is the vniuerfall ftate,almoftas well of wiuesas of damofels. 
 And that which moft of all mould be regarded : I meane the 
 prouident care of parents ouer their daughters in their young and 
 tender years : that is altogither neglected and fet a fyde. No 
 fooner is the daughter of age of vnderftanding, but fliee ftraightwaye 
 and therewithall learneth the highe path to whoredome, and the 
 principles of vanity and lewdeneffe. Eyther fliee is altogither kept 
 from exercifes of good learning, and knowledge of good letters, or 
 elfe ftie is fo noufeled in amorous bookes, vaine ftories and fonde 
 trifeling fancies, that fliee fmelleth of naughtineffe euen all hir 
 lyfe after, as a veffel which being once feafoned, doth neuer forgo 
 the fent of the firft licour." 
 
 He then contrafts them, to their difadvantage of courfe, with 
 many Pagan ladies and early Chriftians. " But even " (continues 
 he) " that fame fmall number which haue anye knowledge at all, 
 doe fo greatlye abufe it, that much better were it they fljoulde 
 vnlearne that againe which they haue alreadie learned, then mife- 
 rably to abufe it as they doo, or at the leafte wife (as we fee them) 
 
xxviii INTRODUCTION. 
 
 to make equalle Pampheticall trifles with wholefome Doctrine and 
 tryalloflyfe." (C. v.) 
 
 He complains that after reading "pernicious, vmchafte and 
 godleffe bookes," they accompany in pleasures and banquets, "young 
 amorous Roifters, & mifchieuous varieties, " etc. " On the other 
 fyde, it is to be lamented (as a cafe too too grieuous) fuch parents 
 as doe bring vp their daughters in learning, do it to none other ende 
 but to make them companions of carpet knightes & giglots, for 
 amorous louers. If their intent were otherwife, how woulde they 
 dare fo ouer curioufly, and carefully to maintaine and keepe them, 
 at the leaft wife to wincke at them (as they almoft euery where 
 doe) in that vaine & vngodly praftife of daunfing ? vaine& vngodly 
 I fay, only in refpecT: of the prefent abufe of the fame, which the 
 very Pagans at all times and in all ages abhorred. . . O good God, 
 fayth a certaine writer, what fliaking, what bragging, what wring- 
 ing of handes, what whifperings, what treading vpon the toes, 
 what vncleanly handlings, gropings, kiflings, and a very kindling 
 of lecherye, doth their affotiate that trade and occupation of 
 daunfing ? . . There was neuer heard of any that could hop, fkip, 
 & tourne on the toe (as they terme it) that would fcarcely come to 
 y e church without carying. . . And it is a world to fee, with what 
 demurenes,fome that bee Parentes doo fit in beholding the ftraunge 
 Jeftures, footing and countenaunce of theyr curious fantaftical 
 Daughters : yea, oftentimes, when the felfe lame /kill is the caufe 
 of defiling theyr bodyes and vtter loffe of theyr honeftye and good 
 name." 
 
 But, " after lhee hath once attayned Vnto the knowledge of 
 Daunfing, fhee neuer afterward returneth backe to better thinges, 
 fhee quite and cleane forfaketh vertue, and for the moft part, 
 biddeth honefty adewe. Then fhee muft haue fcope, then fhee 
 muft haue her apparel after the fafhion, then fhee muft haue 
 paintings, Lickinges, Combings, Playtinges, Pitchinges, and all 
 kinde of newe fafhioned Trimminges : yea, then fhee muft haue 
 walkinges, Feaftinges, and watchinges, and al kinde of pleafure that 
 maketh perfect the trade of a ftrumpet." 
 
 He then compares, again to our difadvantage, our marriage cere- 
 monies with thofe of the Egyptians, the Maflagetes who lived in 
 " Tubbes and Tunnes (wives & daughters, fons & fathers toge- 
 ther), the Bragmans," etc., followed by bitter complaints of the 
 bad bringing up of fons, of the unneceffary licenfe given them 
 when children — "the ouer great neifhnes and dilicacye that by 
 
INTRODUCTION. xxix 
 
 Parentes is infufed into their little fonnes" — their contempt of 
 fuperiors and excefs of apparel — " their malapart boldnes and 
 libertye," and pronenefs to quarrelling & fighting. 
 
 He then, in a drain of considerable eloquence, calls upon his 
 country as " thou Realme of Englande, thou olde Briutifti Nation, 
 whome fometimes Forrein Peoples haue honoured for thy pietye," 
 — to contraft her bleflings and peaceable ftate with thofe of neigh- 
 bouring nations — to remember the goodnefs of God and Chrift — to 
 bring up children in a better manner, etc. ; and thus leads up to 
 what was, perhaps, his primary object in writing the book — the 
 fecond part of it, entitled, " A Compendious fourme or educa- 
 tion." 
 
 As the Epiftle Dedicatory contains perfonal allufions not found 
 elfewbere, I have ventured to tranfcribe it in full ; but, before doing 
 fo, I will make a remark on a fubject which will no doubt fttike 
 every reader — namely, the ludicrous irregularity in the orthography 
 of certain words. This is common to molt books of the period ; 
 but here we have "plees" and "place," to defignate the fame thing, 
 within twenty words of each other ; befides "their" and " theyr," 
 and numerous other variations. When this is the cafe with works, 
 which were no doubt, to fome extent, Superintended by their 
 authors through the prefs, how can we wonder at the defects in 
 the quarto plays of Shakefpeare, which were Surreptitiously 
 executed ? I fay " to fome extent," for every one conversant with 
 fuch matters is aware how often the matured orthography of an 
 author is altered by the caprice or conceit of the compofitor.

 followe that purpofe, I thought it conuenient to feclude from me 
 all thofe forreine exercifes which might any wayes feeme to re- 
 pugne, or to be (as it were) a propqfito aliena. 
 
 " But (as in thofe my ftudies prefixed) being tied vnto folytari- 
 nefie in the Countrey, which for my lot, hath hapned vnto me by 
 mariage, after a while I perceiued that, wanting (as I there did) the 
 benefite of mine accuftomed conference, it was impoffible for me, 
 without fome exercife of the minde to cotinue, or with profite to 
 go forwarde in the fame. In which refpecl, I contented my felfe 
 (betwixt whiles and for recreation fake) to refort vnto mine 
 accuftomed exercife, but fo, as (if it might be) fome profite might 
 redound thereof vnto others. 
 
 " And happening by good lucke vpon a certaine Latine booke 
 intituled, De puerh ftatim ac liberaliter inflituendis, I gathered com- 
 pendioufly out of the fame, (as not being able to allowe my felfe 
 time enough from my faid ftudies, to accomplifti the part of a 
 Tranflatour) fuch certaine fummary documents as might feeme

 this booke) doth feeme a great deale more pleafaunt then profe, 
 and doth mitigate (as it were) the harlhnes of the matter. 
 
 " Which litle booke I do offer vnto you (my approued friend) as 
 a token of my good wyll, in whom, as in my felfe, I do perceiue

 This work is, as is fpecified, a collection of directions for the 
 education of youth, carried on in a feries of lively dialogues between 
 Philopas and Chrifippus. It abounds in ienfible remarks, and, as 
 might be expected, in fevere denunciations of the folly of parents. 
 I have room for a few ftanzas only : — 
 
 " They pinche and crooke their bodies in,

 A COMMEMORATION OF THE MOST 
 PROSPEROUS AND PEACEABLE RAIGNE 
 OF OUR GRATIOUS AND DEERE SOU- 
 ERAIGNE LADY ELIZABETH BY THE 
 
xxxii INTRODUCTION. 
 
 GRACE OF GOD OF ENGLAND, FRAUNCE 
 AND IRELANDE, QUEENE Sec. Now newly 
 fet foorth this .XVII. day of Nouember, beyng the 
 firft day of the .XVIII. yeere of her Maiefties fayd 
 Raigne. By Edw. Hake. Gent. Imprinted at London 
 by William How, for Richard Johnes, dwellynge 
 without Newgate, ouer agaynft S. Sepulchers 
 Churche. (1575.) Black Letter. [O&avo.] Britijh 
 Mufeum. (Grenville Collection.) 
 
 This work confifts of 20 leaves — A B in eights, and C in fours. 
 A copy fold at Perry's fale for 11/. 11s. ; at Sir Mark Sykes's for 
 12/. 125. ; and at Sotheby's, in 1857, for 13/. 13*. Heber's copy 
 fold for only 4/. 51. This had been Bindley's, at whofe fale it pro- 
 duced 9/. gs. It is reprinted by Thomas Park in his fupplement 
 to the Harleian Mifcellany, vol. ix. p. 123, etfeqq.; but with a 
 very inadequate notice of the author. 
 
 It is dated from Barnard's Inn, and dedicated " To the worfhip- 
 full, his verie louing Cowfen M. Edwarde Eliotte Efquier, the 
 Queenes Maiefties Surueyour of all her Honours Manours, Landes 
 and pofleffions within her highnes County of Efiex." The Poem 
 occupies fifteen pages, confifting of 384 lines in quatrains ; followed 
 by three pages of an addrefs, " To all the Queenes highnes moft 
 honourable Counfaylers," in feven-line ftanzas. Then appears, in 
 profe, " A Meditation wherin the godly Englifh geueth thankes 
 to God for the Queenes Maiefties profperous gouernment," etc. 
 " which," fays the author, " was imparted vnto mee by a learned 
 and worfliipfull gentleman, very necefiary to bee runne vnto in the 
 end of our reivyfinge," &c. This occupies twelve pages, the lower 
 half of the laft one difplaying a woodcut of the royal arms. 
 
 The author, in his Dedication, gives us to underftand that he is 
 induced by his coufin and a learned friend, to whom he had lhewn 
 his poem, to publifh it, hoping thereby " to prouoke the pen of 
 fome renowned Homer, and to prepare the hearts of all her Highnes 
 Subjectes to a farther and deeper consideration of Gods exceeding 
 and fuperabundant mercies ; that in the thankfulnes and finceritie 
 of their hartes they might (not for one day fuperfticioufly, but for 
 ever) kepe holy unto the Lord the commemoration of the moft 
 profperous and peaceable raigne of the fame our gracious and dere 
 fovereign lady, j)ueen Elizabeth." 
 
INTRODUCTION. xxxiii 
 
 In contrafting the quiet happinefs of England with the wars and 
 miferies prevailing in foreign countries, he thus fpeaks : — 
 
 " Thine englifli people, Lord, dwell fafe : 
 
 with them doth peace abide, 
 With them doth liue a louing Queene 
 
 who like a Mother raignes, 
 And like a chofen facred Impe 
 
 immortall glory gaines. 
 Her handes fliee holdes not foorth to warre, 
 
 her hart doth reft in peace : 
 Shee Joyes to fee her peoples wealth 
 
 and wayles their harmes increafe. 
 Thy gofpelles fownde fliee fendes abroade : 
 
 fliee ftoppes no wholfome Spring : 
 But popiihe Puddles dammes fliee up 
 
 which noyfome humours bring." 
 
 This difference he attributes not to any tyrannical propenfity on 
 the Queen's part, but to the influence of her milder virtues ; anc 
 he thus compliments her on her perfonal charms : — 
 
 " Of fleftie the feebleft fexe by kinde, 
 
 of face not Junos feere ; 
 But mylde Sufanna in her lookes, 
 
 and Hefter in her cheere " 
 
 But flie is no lefs particular, according to him, in guarding 
 popular rights and in difpenfing ftridt juftice. His ftout Pro- 
 teftantifm, which is indeed confpicuous in every piece he wrote, 
 is again fliown thus :- — 
 
 " Before her raigne, bereft of peace, 
 
 bereft of outwarde joy, 
 Purfued to death by Romiflie beaftes, 
 
 ftill feeking her annoy ; 
 Whofe foamy frothy murthrous jawes, 
 
 with ftomacks ftuft with guile, 
 Each day devis'd her graces death 
 
 and facred ftate to foyle." 
 
 As ftte has thus been blefled by Jehove, (he fliould, he fays, ever be 
 
xxxiv INTRODUCTION. 
 
 thankful ; as well as for the benefits derived from good counfellors 
 and upright judges. He then turns to the Church, praying that the 
 Queen may, " with judgment found and pure, remoove from thence 
 debate," as well as choofe the beft preachers ; and, laftly, exhorts 
 her to redrefs the evils of the commonwealth, and remove unworthy 
 difpenfers of the law who are likely to give trouble in troublous 
 times; thereby evidently glancing at judges with Popiih proclivities. 
 In the courfe of his addrefs " to all the Qucenes Highnes moft 
 honourable Counfaylers," he befeeches them to beware of foreign 
 fraud in the following fenfible terms. The concluding couplet is 
 worthy of being written in letters of gold ; for how often has England 
 not had occafion to regret the non-obfervance of its advice : — 
 
 ** Beware of forreign fraude, and falfe pretenfed love, 
 Accept good will, but fecreat woorks prevent ; 
 
 So joy [join?] in league, that clofe compadts you prove, 
 So live in peace, as you to warre were bent ; 
 Yeeld truft, but try for feare ye do repent : 
 
 Geve heede to peace, but live not unpreparde, 
 
 The ftrongeft ftate the longeft time is fparde." 
 
 He further calls upon them to purge fociety of fome of its groff- 
 nefs ; that being, as he thus deplores, beyond the power of his pen 
 even adequately to defcribe : — 
 
 " To tax the trades that wickednefs findes out, 
 To touch the lives that lewdnefle hath begonne, 
 
 To blafe the pride that runnes the realme throughout, 
 To preach the fpoyles that private gaine hath wonne, 
 To fhew the fhiftes that poore men have undone, 
 
 O noble wightes ! and honourable all ; 
 
 No pen of mine hath force or ever fhall " 
 
 His hatred to Roman Catholics is fhown on every poflible 
 occafion, as thus in the penultimate ftanza ; he evidently con- 
 fidering them at the bottom of all the troubles of the time : — 
 
 " Herein the bloody papifts do confpire, 
 
 And begging broodes of bankrupts in their kind 
 
 Do take the courfe to let our peace on fire, 
 By fawning force a filthy fetch to finde, 
 A few to raife with riches ill affign'd ; 
 
 Though thoufands thence do reap their endlefle neede, 
 
 Whence hate for love in confequence doth breede, 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 " Herein, to fine, the feweft fortes do right, 
 Herein the lawes that godlynefs have fixt, 
 
 Herein, the peace appearing in our fight, 
 
 By private heades with wickednefs are mixt } 
 And this our peace hath dangers drawne betwixt. 
 
 Herein, therefore, to finde redrefie with fpeede 
 
 Shall make your names ' true noble' ftill indeede ! 
 In molt humble wife, 
 
 Edward Hake."

 LADY ELIZABETH, BY THE GRACE OF

 larged with an exhortation applyed to this prefent 
 tyme. Set foorth this XVII day of Nouember beyng 
 the fyrft day of the XXI yeere of her maiefties faid

 a Thankefgiuing of the godly for her Maiefties prof-

 continuance of the fame to Gods glory and our com- 
 fort. Imprinted at London by Richard Iohnes, and

 Of this work only one copy is known, which is preferved in the 
 Library of Lambeth Palace. It is perfect with the exception of 
 Ai, that being the title-page. The bulk of the book confifts of a 
 reprint of the "Commemoration " printed in 1575. The follow- 
 ing is the collation :— Title, 1 page. An Exhortation to all the 
 Queenes Maiefties faythful and obedient Subjects, confidently to 
 be perufed of the fame." 7 pp. (A 1-4) finishing with this

 notice : — " The Printer to the Reader. By following of the old 
 copy (gentle Reader) of Anno. 18. of her M. raigne, there is a 
 fault efcaped in the accompt of this prefent ai. yeere : which with 
 thy pen, I pray thee amende, viz. in the fife Leafe for 17. reade 20. 
 and for 18. (in the margentof that leafe) reade 21." Then follows 
 the " Commemoration" as in the former edition j A — C iv. 
 
 But the above-named error is not the only one connected with 
 the date of this work, which has been affigned by bibliographers, 
 who feldom verify dates on ftrict chronological principles, to the 
 year 1579; but as the twenty -firft year of (^Elizabeth's reign com- 
 menced 17 November, 1 578, it fhould properly bear this latter date. 
 
 The following feems the only extract worth quoting, as it has 
 perfonal applications : — 
 
 " It was in my mynde to haue continued a yeerely remembraunce 
 of the premiffes, at fuch tyme as I fyrft fet foorth this fayd Pam- 
 phlet, being then the xviij. yeere of her Maiefties reigne : or at the 
 leaft, to haue continued the fame vntil fome good wryter had bin 
 knowen to haue dipped his penne in this kynde of Argument : 
 But (much to my trouble, and litle to my comfort) I haue bene 
 helde backe by other bufinefTes occafioned neceflarily, though not 
 profitablie, in ye vocation wherein I liue. And the tyme being 
 now inftant, wherein thefe thyngs ought rather to be put foorth, 
 thenenterprifed and begonne, Iamconftraynedwith griefe of mynde, 
 to leave vndone that which I haue bene hytherto as defirous to 
 accomplifhe as I am and haue bene willing to enioy the benefites 
 of fo excellent a gouernement in common with my brethren. 
 
 " It is not a flight and vulgare thing (my deare brethren and 
 countrymen) that a royall perfonage fhoulde be firft afflicted, & 
 then aduanced : fyrft humbled, and then exalted : fyrft brought 
 downe to the gates of death, and then agayne fet vp in the wayes 
 of lyfe, and in the throne of principalitie and rule. This is the 
 order of the Lordes fchoole, this is the courfe of the almightie, 
 and thefe are the onely wayes of the higheft. By whome 
 foeuer hee pleafeth to worke his worke, in thofe he expreffeth the 
 good tokens of his election. And hath he not dealt fo with our 
 Elizabeth?" 
 
 He then complains of the M vnrecouerable wickednes of the 
 people of this tyme and Nation" — of the practices of the Queen's 
 enemies, rebellion, Popifh plots, &c.

 This Oration, fpoken on the Queen's Birthday, 7th September, 
 1586, was according to the Regifters of the Stationers' Company, 
 licenfed to Edw. Aggas, 30th October, 1587, in which year it was 
 no doubt printed. It is introduced by an Addrefs by Hake to 
 " The right Noble and vertuous his finguler good Lady, the Lady 
 Anne Countefle of Warwicke," — (wife of Ambrofe Dudley, elder 
 brother of the Earl of Leiceftcr, and created Lord Line and Earl of 
 Warwick in 1 562) — in which he regrets that he has no better 
 means of fliewing his refpedr. for "fo noble a Lady, as by whom (I

 THE TOUCHE-STONE OF WITTES. 1588. 
 
 Though Warton, in his defcription of the u Mirror of Magis- 
 trates," the firft edition of which appeared in 1559, quotes Hake's 
 opinion as a contemporary writer upon it, as found in his " Touche- 
 ftone of Wittes," a work •* chiefly compiled," according to our great 
 poetic critic, " with fome flender additions from William Webbe's 
 "Difcourfe of Englifh Poetry," published in 1588 ; he fpeaks of 
 him as u a forgotten writer," and as ** one of whom he knows 
 but little more than that he wrote alfo *• A Toucheftone for this 
 Time prefent." But to this flight notice we are indebted for the 
 only record we poflefs of this work of Hake's (the Touche-ftone 
 of Wittes) ; for though a copy had undoubtedly been feen by 
 Warton, it has efcaped the fubfequent refearches of our moft 
 ardent bibliomaniacs ; refembling in this refpect the fate of that 
 curious poetic tradt of 32 leaves, printed in 1601, entitled "No 
 Whippinge nor Trippinge but a kinde friendly Snippinge," which, 
 not with ftanding a copy of it had apparently been ufed by Malone, 
 had never been feen by Warton nor by any fucceeding bibliographer 
 till another (and perhaps the only furviving one) had been dif- 
 entombed at Lamport Hall by the prefent editor, who has no 
 hefitation, from the moft direft internal evidence, in fathering it 
 upon Nicholas Breton.

 This Edward Vaughan was author of a little work, (not men- 
 tioned by Lowndes, and recently in my pofleflion,) and one in which 
 it appears Sir W. Herbert had a part, printed by A. Iflip, London, 
 1594, entitled " Ten Introductions : How to Read, and in Reading 
 how to Underftand ; and in Underftanding, how to beare in mind 
 all the Bookes, Chapters, and Verfes, contained in the Holie Bible." 
 In the Preface is a feeling allufion to the families " which the laft 
 years Plague hath ruinated, deprived, and defolated." 
 
 The following verfes in " Golds Kingdome " relate to the 
 ftate of uncertainty in which the kingdom was placed by the death 
 of the Queen, with a high compliment to the efficient adminiftra- 
 tion of juftice in the city of London. 
 
 " Of the moft commendable and honourable gouernement of the City of 
 London, in the late times of the ftcknejfe and deceafe of the moft

 It was to all great ioy to vnderftand 
 
 What rules were there for letting men on land. 
 
 " In fine, when certainty of death was knowne 
 
 Of her our Queene, did hurly burly rife? 
 
 No none at all : A bud then ftraight way blowne 
 
 On felfe fame ftallce did London well fuffice 
 
 To meafure all things with an vpright Size. 
 
 The keyes were kept for him [King James] who did fucceed, 
 
 And nought was heard that difcrepance mi^ht breed. 
 
 " Then I as one partaker of that Good, 
 
 Who with my wife and family did ftay 
 
 Within the City where I vnderftood 
 
 Th' occurrents of thofe times and Cities fway, 
 
 Found caufe of fweete content whereas I lay, 
 
 Obferuing there the orders of that place, 
 
 Which with my heart I highly did imbrace." 
 
 As the " Oration " included in this volume contains little but 
 the ufual adulation addrefled to fovereignson their acceflion to the 
 throne, and has already been reprinted in Brydges's " Reftituta," 
 vol. iii. p. 269, it feems unneceflary to repeat it here. But it is 
 amufing to obferve that the author, who never lofes an opportunity 
 of felf-laudation, manages, while alluding to the king's /hare in 
 the government, and the " equity of the Common Lawes of Eng- 
 land and of the High Court of Chancery," to call His Majefty's 
 attention to " a plaine and open Treatife thereof in Englilh," which 
 
xlii INTRODUCTIO N. 
 
 he has written, and of which he begs the king's perufal. This 
 has apparently never been printed. 
 
 I will now give a few fpecimens of the poems in " Golds 
 Kingdome," fome of which contain paflages of confiderable merit. 
 They are preceded by the following ftanzas, mowing the ruling 
 features of the author's mind — his zeal for religion — his yearning 
 for the reformation of abufes in Church and State, as well as in 
 the legal profeffion, all of which bore heavily on the people, — 
 tempered by a profound veneration for the office of the fovereign. 
 From its heading, " Humble Petitions of good fubiedls to their 
 good King againft the Parliament," and from the ideas expreffed 
 in it, it is evident that his hopes for reform centred entirely in the 
 new ruler: — 
 
 Js&onfirme Religion as the Arke of God : 
 MtSfp Preferue the places where the fame fhall reft : 
 y$Jy|s| Then lawes for life, and maners as the Rod, 
 W' Wherewith offence of Sinne muft be fuppreft, 
 So fhall the land affuredly be bleft. 
 But firie Spirits are not for that charge, 
 Nor fuch as feeke their profits to enlarge. 
 
 " Next, for the Common-wealth (as is begun) 
 Take off oppreffions from the Subiedh backe, 
 And to the Commons do not alwayes runne 
 For euery thing that Common wealth doth lacke, 
 For fo poore Subiedls ftill /hall go to wracke, 
 And yet muft Subiedte Caefars duties pay : 
 No faithfull Subiett will thereof fay nay. 
 
 11 As for the Lawyers faults and griefes thereby, 
 The peoples plaints fuffice to make them knowne, 
 And how huge monftrous fees on Suters lye. 
 Which Officers and Clarkes claime as their owne : 
 But if you afke quo lure they are growne 
 The man (fay they) muft fell who firft did buy : 
 A cafe to be redreft as caufe fhall lie. 
 
 *• In briefe, the fores & fickneffes that are 
 
 In Englands ftate, which grieued men will fhew 
 
 In Parliament, will moue the Princes care 
 
 To finde the fountaines whence the fame doe flow, 
 
 And fountaines found, to purge them all arow. 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The God of heauen preferue our bleffed King, 
 That he to Church and Realme true peace may bring. 
 Aftra Deo nil maius habent, Nil Carfare Terra : 
 Sic Caefar Terras, vt Deus Aftra regat." 
 
 " No gold no goodnejfe. 
 
 " /~~\ Gold that goeft in and out, 
 
 \_) That rul'ft and raigneft at thy will, 
 
 thou that bringeft things about, 
 Why art thou abfent from vs ftill ? 
 But O our God, O where art thou 
 That fuffreft Gold to conquer now ? 
 
 " You earthly men who vnto men 
 Nought giue where you can nothing take, 
 
 1 fpeake to you, regard me then, 
 
 Your Gold and Goods your God you make : 
 For where as Gold is, you are won, 
 But where Gold is not, you haue done. 
 
 " Be honeft, learned, flcilfull, wife, 
 Be what thou canft, if Gold thou want, 
 Thou maift lie ftill, thou /halt not rife, 
 For nothing proues where Gold is fkant : 
 For Gold it is that doth the deed, 
 But nothing profpers where is need. 
 
 " What, mail I then lie downe and die? 
 Alas I cannot when I would : 
 Or {hall I fit me downe and crie 
 And with my teares my griefe vnfold ? 
 Lament and crie, do what thou wilt, 
 Thy caufe is loft for lacke of Gilt. 
 
 ** Yet fay I not that all men looke 
 
 To be rewarded for their deed : 
 
 But this I fay, that few men brooke 
 
 To helpe a man that is in need. 
 
 For though he write with Homers inke, 
 
 Yet go he mall before he drinke." 
 
xliv INTRODUCTION. 
 
 " The fame complaining of bis -want of friends. 
 
 "\T\ /"AKING in my bed I wept 
 
 V V And filently complaind, 
 The cares that on me crept 
 All hope of fleepe reftraind, 
 I called on my hap, 
 I cried on my chaunce, 
 Will none ftand in the gap ? 
 Will none my ftate aduance ? 
 My woe that neuer ends, 
 My want that neuer dies, 
 My ftate that neuer mends, 
 My foule that euer cries, 
 All thefe are but the loome 
 That warpeth vp my death, 
 All thefe prefage my doome, 
 The lofle of later breath. 
 But is there not a Ioy 
 That worldly Ioy excels, 
 That helpeth all annoy 
 And worldly woe expels ? 
 There is no doubt, God graunt it me 
 So /hall thofe woes extinguifht be." 
 
 " Droupe and die, 
 Looke vp and Hue. 
 
 " T) E Grouping N. and die my deareft friend : 
 ±J For who regardeth him whofe ioyes do end ? 
 Looke vp and liue, make fhew of greateft ftore : 
 If litle thou poflefle, make fliew of more: 
 Be modeft, fimple, baflifull in thy deed, 
 
 Aflure thy felfe of nothing thou malt fpeed : 
 But ftout vaunt parler ftirring in the State 
 Will haue his paflage through a Princely Gate.' 
 
 Anfiver. 
 " Ah God my God, and muft it needes be thus ? 
 Will nothing come by plaine and fimple courfe ? 
 Muft Nature change her felfe and loofe her Ius? 
 Muft humble mind be proud ? Nay (which is worfe)

 Muft vertue feruile be to ftalcke vpon the Stage ? 
 Ah Lord my God, how grieuous is this Age? 
 He neuer Hue to make fuch fained fhowes : 
 He rather liue where peace of Confcience growes. 
 
 Natura fauca, opinio multa req-uirit." 
 
 " A carefull Debtor. 
 
 I Live in debt, yet loue not to do fo, 
 I pay no debt, but not becaufe I would not: 
 Tis debts difeafe that breedeth all my woe, 
 It kils my heart (alas) becaufe I could not. 
 But hence I go to feeke fome change of foyle 
 Whereby to pay my debt with bodies toyle."
