_Holland_ with his Translations doth so fill us, He will not let _Suetonius_ be _Tranquillus_. Now as he was a Translator of many Authors, so was he very Faithful in what he did; But what commended him most in the Praise of Posterity, was his Translating _Cambdens Britania_, a Translation more then a Translation: he adding to it many more notes then what were first in the Lattin Edition, but such as were done by Mr. _Cambden_ in his Life time, discoverable in the former part with Astericks in the Margent; But these Additions with some Antiquaries obtain not equal Authenticalness with what was set forth by Mr. _Cambden_ himself. Some of these Books (notwithstanding their Gigantick bigness) he wrote with one Pen, where he himself thus pleasantly versified. With one sole Pen, I writ this Book, Made of a Gray Goose quill: A Pen it was when I it took, And a Pen I leave it still. This Monumental Pen he kept by him, to show Friends when they came to visit him, as a great Rarity. * * * * * _THOMAS GOFF_. _Thomas Goff_ was one whose Abilities rais'd him to a high Reputation in the Age he lived in; chiefly for his Dramatick Writings: Being the Author of the _Couragious Turk_, _Rageing Turk_, _Selimus_ and _Orestes_ Tragedies; the _Careless Shepherdess_ a Tragi-Comedy, and _Cupids Whirligig_ a Comedy. * * * * * _THOMAS NABBES_. _Thomas Nabbes_ was also one who was a great Contributer to the _English_ Stage, chiefly in the Reign of King _Charles_ the First; His Comedies were _the Brides, Covent-Garden, Totnam Court_, and the _Woman-hater Arraigned_. His Tragedies, _The Unfortunate Mother_, _Hannibal_ and _Scipio_, and _The Tragedy of King_ Charles _the First_; besides two Masques, _The Springs Glory_, and _Microcosmus_, and an _Entertainment on the Princes Birth-day_, an interlude. * * * * * _RICHARD BROOME_. _Richard Broome_ was a Servant to Mr. _Benjamin Johnson_, a Servant (saith one) suitable to such a Master; having an excellent Vain fitted for a Comique Strain, and both natural Parts and Learning answerable thereunto; though divers witty only in reproving, say, That this _Broome_ had only what he swept from his Master: But the Comedies he Wrote, so well received and generally applauded, give the Lie to such Detractors; three of which, _viz._ His _Northern Lass, The Jovial Crew_, and _Sparagus Garden_, are little inferior if not equal to the writings of _Ben. Johnson_ himself; besides these three Comedies before mentioned he wrote twelve others, _viz._ The _Antipodes, Court Beggar, City Wit, Damoyselle, Mock Marriage, Love Sick Court, Mad Couple well Matcht, Novella, New Exchange, Queens Exchange, Queen and Concubine, Covent Garden Wedding_, and a Comedy called the _Lancaster Witches_, in which he was joyned with _Heyward_.
