The Lives and Characters of the English Dramatick Poets/Robert Armin
The Author of a Play which Mr. Langbain never saw, and is called,
The History of the Two Maids of Moor Clack, with the Life and Simple Manner of John in the Hospital; Play'd by the Children of the King's Majesty's Revels, and Printed in 4to. London, 1609. I believe the Plot may be taken from some Old Story in those Times. This Author lived in the Reign of King James I. and in the Title Page discovers himself to be one of his Majesty's Servants, and was, I believe, of the then Company of Actors, for I find his Name Printed in the Drama of Ben. Johnson's Alchymist, among the rest of the eminent Players of that Age; and indeed the Preface of his Play seems to intimate as much.
