THomas Midleton was one who by his Industry added very much to the English Stage, being a copious Writer of Dramatick Poetry. He was Contemporary with Johnson and Fletcher, and tho'
not of equal Repute with them, yet were well ac∣cepted of those times such Plays as he wrote; namely, Blurt Mr. Constable, the chaste Maid in Cheapside, Your fine Gallants, Family of Love, More Dissemblers than Women, the Game at Chess, the Mayor of Quinborough, a mad world my Ma∣sters, Michaelmas Term, No Wit like a womans, the Roaring Girl, any thing for a quiet Life, the Phenix and a new Trick to catch the old one, Comedies; The world toss'd at Tennis, and the Inner Temple, Masques; and Women beware Women, a Tragedy. Besides what, he was an Assoiate with William Rowley in several Comedies and Tragi-Comedies; as, the Spanish Gypsies, the Changling, the Old Law, the fair Quar∣rel, the Widow: Of all which, his Michaelmas-Term is highly applauded both for the plot and neatness of the style.
