To the Reader.

EPistles and Prologues being for the most part skipt over without reading, I had thought to have silenc'd my Pen as to either of them both, had not the importunity of the Stationer (who was unwilling to have a blank page, but that the Buyer might have enough for his money) prevailed with me so far as to give thee this short account of it; That as it is a Play, so I made the writing thereof onely my Recreation, not my Study; done in few hours and youthful years, that may (rightly consider'd) excuse the Faults there∣in, which (if I am not partial) are not great, nor ma∣ny; onely these few committed by the negligence or oversight of the Printer: I must desire thee either gently to pass over, or else with thy Pen to correct.
