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

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

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

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
any authority for the aflertion, curtly defcribes it as the third.
xviii INTRODUCTION.
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 : —
Satyr I. Complains that Sir Nummus had taken up his abode,
not with induftrious and confcientious minifters, but with bifhops,
deans, &c.
Satyr II. Relates to the miferies of fuitors in courts of juftice,
to the corruption and partiality of judges, and to the greedinefs of
counfel and attorneys.
Satyr III. Is devoted to the tricks and praclifes of phyficians.
Satyr IV. Difcourfes on the abufes of apothecaries and furgeons,
the fumptuary laws then in force, and other topics.
Satyr V. Inveighs againft extravagant living and confequent
bankruptcy, and unlawful funday fports.
Satyr VI. Is, among other points, a proteft againft the ufe of
St. Paul's Cathedral as a place of affignation and converfation,
even during prayer.
Satyr VII. Makes an onflaught upon bawds j alfo upon brokers
who advance money to fpendthrifts, making part of it confift in
goods, which the borrowers are obliged to fell at a lofs.
Satyr VIII. Continues the fame fubjecl, againft covetoufnefs
and ufurers.
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

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

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

Hall in thofe early times were both ignorant and carelefs, fre-
quently obfcuring matters extremely interefting to a literary

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
" To Maifter Iohn Harlowe his approoued friende.

" 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

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,
the little corps they ftraine
With garments far vnmeete fuch age,
and to be thought as vaine.
They cocke them vp with coates of pryde
they vfe them for their fquires,
They make them Cockneies in their kind

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."

Of this work only one copy is known, which is preferved in the

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

But (much to my trouble, and litle to my comfort) I haue bene

" It is not a flight and vulgare thing (my deare brethren and

then aduanced : fyrft humbled, and then exalted : fyrft brought

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

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 volume comprifes a Angular intermixture of poems on
varied fubjedb in various meafures, with a few profe pieces, advert-
ing to royal perfonages, to courtiers, to prelates, to judges, to
lawyers, &c, and to the author's leading topic, the potency and
undue influence of gold. The circumftances under which it was
compofed are ftated in the following dedication in the latter part
of the book : —

it is) I fend vnto you, as a token of my afiured goodwill, being
ready from time to time to exprefle the fame by better meanes as
I mall be enabled thereunto. And whereas in one or two places
of the booke I haue made mention of outragious fees, let that

fees : But an extreame exacter of fees I am perfwaded in my heart
you neuer were, nor euer will be. And fo with my beft wifhing

" Your true and hearty welwiller,
" E. Hake."
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
gracious and renvwmed Sjieene Elizabeth.
" Feare, horror trembling, and difmay of heart
Were each where feene upon reports that went
That our late Queene lay ficke. O dreadfull fmart
Redoubled ftill as new reports were fent.
Moft men to flit and chaunge their foiles were bent,
But where to feate or where to be fecure,
Alas, alas, no carting could procure.
" The vpland man, thought fafeft in the Towne,
The townes man thought him beft that was at large,
And he that earft fate warme in long furd gowne,
Could well haue brookt the fleering of a barge.
Not one of other then would take the charge,

But each f'ufpecling other, all difmayd,
Not for defence, but for deftruclion ftayd.
" O London then (to thy ftill lafting fame)
So prudently thy Gouernement was fet,
As that how euer newes then went and came,
Nought could thy graue forefight or compafie let
Wifedome and courage fo in thee were met,
As that the Peacefull had his quiet reft,
And few men feard that they fliould be oppreft.
" No troupes by day nor lurkings in the night
Could gather head, but ftreight they were defcryde :
Each officer fo held his courfe aright,
As that no doubtfull perfon durft abide.
And for the care that was at water-fide,
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.
