The Lives and Characters of the English Dramatick Poets/Abraham Baily

B

A Gentleman of the Honourable Society of Lincolns-Inn, and the Author of a Comedy call'd,

The Spightful Sister; London, Printed in 4to. 1667. which I presume never was Acted, being Printed without Prologue, Epilogue, or Dedication, and with Mr. Langbain, I must acquit him entirely of being a Plagiary, either as to Characters or Language, and if it fall to any ones Chance to read it, and to observe my Lord Occa's and Winifred's Characters, will easily allow that what he has writ is surely all his own.
