Note 623 — Chapter XIX
Reading edition
Chalmers's Supplemental Apology, pp. 216-17. He may also have been the author of a play called The Masque, which Herbert in 1624 licensed: "For the Palsgrave's Company, a new play called The Masque." In the list of manuscript plays collected by Warburton we find the title A Mask, and the authorship ascribed to R. Govell. Since "R. Govell" is not otherwise heard of, we may reasonably suppose that this was Warburton's reading of "R. Gunell." Gunnell also prefixed a poem to the Works of Captain John Smith, 1626.
