<T TITLE>EPISTLE
To all good Fellowes, Professors of
%the Gentle Craft; of what degree%
soever.
<T PROSE>Kinde Gentlemen, and honest boone Companions, I present you
here with a merrie conceited Comedie, called, %the Shoemakers%
%Holyday%, acted by my Lorde Admiralls Players this present
Christmasse, before the Queenes most excellent Majestie. For the
mirth and plesant matter, by her Highnesse graciously accepted;
being indeed no way offensive. The Argument of the play I will
set downe in this Epistle: Sir %Hugh Lacie% Earle of %Lincolne%, had a
yong Gentleman of his owne name, his nere kinsman, that loved
the Lorde Maiors daughter of London; to prevent and crosse which
love, the Earle caused his kinsman to be sent Coronell of com-+
panie into France: who resigned his place to another gentleman his
friend, and came disguised like a Dutch Shoomaker, to the house
of %Symon . . .
