Reading edition
The Speech] “Anthony Munday, who in his edition of Stow’s Survey, published in 1618, has given another version of the present story, and printed ‘the Speech according as it was delivered to mee,’ says it was spoken by ‘one man in behalf of all the rest;’ who, of course, was either some hired actor, or, very probably, [?] Thomas Middleton himself.” Nichols.
