THE PROLOGVE FOR THE STAGE.

Gap in transcription. Reason:  (KL)[…] Alas! what is it to his Scene, to know
How many Coaches in Hide-parke did show
Last spring, what fare to day at Medleyes was,
If Dunstan, or the Phœnix best wine has? Gap in transcription. Reason:  (KL)[…]

⁂

First Emissary Court, one Master Fitton,

He’s a Ieerer too. P.IV. What’s that? FAS. A Wit.

THO. Or halfe a Wit, some of them are Halfe-wits,
Two to a Wit, there are a set of ’hem.
Then Master Ambler, Emissary Paules,
A fine pac’d gentleman, as you shall see, walke
The middle Ile: And then my Froy Hans Buz,
A Dutch-man; he’s Emissary Exhange.

FAS. I had thought Mr. Burst the Marchant had had it.

THO. No,1

He has a rupture, hee has sprung a leake,

Emissarie Westminster’s vndispos’d of yet;

Then the Examiner, Register, and two Clerkes,

They mannage all at home, and sort, and file,

And seale the newes, and issue them.

⁂

[…] CLE. Sir, I tell her, she must stay

Till Emissary Exchange, or Pauls send in,

And then I’ll fit her.

⁂

CYM. And as they are issued. I haue the iust meoytie
For my part: then the other moeytie
Is parted into seuen. The foure Emissaries;
Whereof my Cozen Fitton here’s for Court,
Ambler for Pauls, and Buz for the Exchange,
Picklocke, for Westminster, with the Examiner,
And Register, they haue full parts: and then one part
Is vnder-parted to a couple of Clarkes;
And there’s the iust diuision of the profits!

P. SE. Well bring your sixe in. Where ha’ you left Pecunia?

BRO. Sir, in Apollo,5 they are scarce set.

⁂

Gap in transcription. Reason:  (KL)[…] P.SE. It is no pride in me!
But paine, paine; what’s your errand, Sir, to me?
Broker, returne to your charge, be Argus-eyed,
Awake, to the affaire you haue in hand,
Serue in Apollo,6 but take heed of Bacchus.
Goe on, Sir.

⁂

CENSVRE. A notable tough Rascall! this old Peny-boy! right City-bred!

MIRTH. In Siluer-streete, the Region of money, a good seat for a Vsurer.

⁂

TAT. […] I haue had better newes from the bake-house, by ten thousand parts, in a morning: or the conduicts in Westminster! all the newes of Tutle-street, and both the Alm’ries! the two Sanctuaries long, and round Wool-staple! with Kings-street, and Chanon-row to boot!

MIRTH. I, my Gossip Tatle knew what fine slips grew in Gardiners-lane; who kist the Butchers wife with the Cowes-breath; what matches were made in the bowling-Alley, and what bettes wonne and lost; how much grieft went to the Mill and what besides: who coniur’d in Tutle-fields, and how many? when they neuer came there. And which Boy rode vpon Doctor Lambe, in the likenesse of a roaring Lyon, that runne away with him in his teeth, and ha’s not deuour’d him yet.

⁂

Locations

Hyde Park

According to Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay, Hyde Park was the largest of the royal parks. The land was used as a hunting ground from 1536 to 1768, Henry VIII adopting Hyde Park for personal use after the dissolution of the monasteries. In the early seventeenth century, the park was opened for public use (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 423).

The Cockpit

The Cockpit, also known as the Phoenix, was an indoor commercial playhouse planned and built by the theatre entrepreneur and actor Christopher Beeston. The title pages of plays performed at the Cockpit usually refer to its location in Drury Lane, but G. E. Bentley offers a more precise description: Beeston’s property lay between Drury Lane and Great Wild Street, north-west of Princes’ Street in the parish of St Giles in the Fields (Bentley vi 49). Herbert Berry adds that the playhouse was three-eights of a mile west of the western boundary of the City of London at Temple Bar (Berry 624), and Frances Teague notes that it was on the east side of Drury Lane and that [t]he site was long preserved by the name of Cockpit Alley, afterwards Pitt Court (Teague 243).
The Cockpit is mentioned in the following documents:
St. Paul’s Cathedral

St. Paul’s Cathedral was—and remains—an important church in London. In 962, while London was occupied by the Danes, St. Paul’s monastery was burnt and raised anew. The church survived the Norman conquest of 1066, but in 1087 it was burnt again. An ambitious Bishop named Maurice took the opportunity to build a new St. Paul’s, even petitioning the king to offer a piece of land belonging to one of his castles (Times 115). The building Maurice initiated would become the cathedral of St. Paul’s which survived until the Great Fire of London.
St. Paul’s Cathedral is mentioned in the following documents:
Royal Exchange

Located in Broad Street Ward and Cornhill Ward, the Royal Exchange was opened in 1570 to make business more convenient for merchants and tradesmen (Harben 512). The construction of the Royal Exchange was largely funded by Sir Thomas Gresham (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 718).
Royal Exchange is mentioned in the following documents:
Westminster Hall

Westminster Hall is the only surviving part of the original Palace of Westminster (Weinreb and Hibbert 1011) and is located on the west side of the Thames. It is located on the bottom left-hand corner of the Agas map, and is labelled as Weſtmynſter hall. Originally built as an extension to Edward the Confessor’s palace in 1097, the hall served as the setting for banquets through the reigns of many kings.
Westminster Hall is mentioned in the following documents:

Ram Alley

Ram Alley, now known as Hare Place, was a small alley that ran north-south off of Fleet Street, opposite Fetter Lane. Once a conventual sanctury, Ram Alley developed into a chartered abode of libertinism and roguery (Beresford 46).
Ram Alley is mentioned in the following documents:
London Bridge

As the only bridge in London crossing the Thames until 1729, London Bridge was a focal point of the city. After its conversion from wood to stone, completed in 1209, the bridge housed a variety of structures, including a chapel and a growing number of shops. The bridge was famous for the cityʼs grisly practice of displaying traitorsʼ heads on poles above its gatehouses. Despite burning down multiple times, London Bridge was one of the few structures not entirely destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666.

Queenhithe

Queenhithe is one of the oldest havens or harbours for ships along the Thames. Hyd is an Anglo-Saxon word meaning landing place. Queenhithe was known in the ninth century as Aetheredes hyd or the landing place of Aethelred. Aethelred was the son-in-law of Alfred the Great (the first king to unify England and have any real authority over London), an ealdorman (I.e., alderman) of the former kingdom of Mercia, and ruler of London (Sheppard 70).

Silver Street

Silver Street was a small but historically significant street that ran east-west, emerging out of Noble Street in the west and merging into Addle Street in the east. Monkwell Street (labelled Muggle St. on the Agas map) lay to the north of Silver Street and seems to have marked its westernmost point, and Little Wood Street, also to the north, marked its easternmost point. Silver Street ran through Cripplegate Ward and Farringdon Within Ward. It is labelled as Syluer Str. on the Agas map and is drawn correctly. Perhaps the most noteworthy historical fact about Silver Street is that it was the location of one of the houses in which William Shakespeare dwelled during his time in London.

Cannon Row

Cannon Row, a humble street running alongside the Thames, was the home of prominent individuals in the early modern period. It was a commonly-used street, and appeared in texts from the period often as the home of some of those illustrious persons. The street began as the home of the Cannons for Saint Stephen’s church.
Cannon Row is mentioned in the following documents:
Bethlehem Hospital

Although its name evokes the pandemonium of the archetypal madhouse, Bethlehem (Bethlem, Bedlam) Hospital was not always an asylum. As Stow tells us, Saint Mary of Bethlehem began as a Priorie of Cannons with brethren and sisters, founded in 1247 by Simon Fitzmary, one of the Sheriffes of London (Stow 1:164). We know from Stow’s Survey that the hospital, part of Bishopsgate ward (without), resided on the west side of Bishopsgate Street, just north of St. Botolph without Bishopsgate (Stow 1:165).
Bethlehem Hospital is mentioned in the following documents:
