A Comedy should present vertue, and point at vice, for a Comedy should be to delight, and not to displease, a good Comedian wit, will onely reprove not reproach; but a satirrical wit will present the vices of two or three in the per∣son of one, but a gentle spirit which is a true Commical wit, will rather take the vice of one, and represent them in two
or three persons, Satyr is more proper for a Comedy Tra∣gedy then for pure Comedy; not that a true comedy will flatter vice, but palliat it.
