Reading edition

Hall, 735; Collier, i. 104; Brewer, iv. 1603; Brown, Venetian Papers, iv. 208; Cavendish, Life of Wolsey, i. 136. The characters further included ‘an oratur,’ a Poet, Religion, Ecclesia, Veritas, Heresy, False Interpretation, ‘Corrupcio Scriptoris,’ St. Peter, St. Paul, St. James, a Cardinal, two Serjeants, the Dauphin and his brother, a Messenger, three ‘Almayns,’ ‘Lady Pees,’ ‘Lady Quyetnes,’ ‘Dame Tranquylyte.’ Brandl, lvi suggests that the play might have been related to the Ludus ludentem Luderum ludens of Johannes Hasenberg (1530), and the analysis of this piece given by Bahlmann, L. D. 48, shows that the two had several characters in common. Another anti-Luther play, the Monachopornomachia (1538) of Simon Lemnius (Bahlmann, L. D. 70), appears to be distinct.
