.
<<Andrew {CROOK}e (died 20 September 1674) and William Cooke (died 1641?) were London publishers of the mid-17th-century. In partnership and individually, they issued significant texts of English Renaissance drama, most notably of the plays of James Shirley. Andrew {CROOK}e was the son of a William {CROOK}e, a yeoman of Kingston Blount, Oxfordshire. On 26 March 1629, Andrew {CROOK}e won his "freedom" of the Stationers Company — that is to say, he gained full membership in the guild of London booksellers, publishers, and printers — and in time "became one of the leading publishers of his day." Perhaps his most notable solo achievements were the 1640 publication of the second edition of Ben Jonson's 1616 folio, and his editions of the Religio Medici of Sir [T]homas [BROWNE]. (Of the latter, {CROOK}e published two unauthorized editions in 1642, and the authorized and corrected edition of 1643, plus subsequent editions in 1645, 1648, 1656, 1659, 1669, and 1672). His currently best-known publication is Thomas Hobbes' scientific & political tract Leviathan.>>

asked him whether hee had brought her any thing; and that she had as
earnestly looked for him, as men doe for dew in the moneth of May.

. Essays or Counsels I. Of [TRUTH]. (by Bacon)
WHAT is [TRUTH]? said jesting Pilate; and would not stay for
an answe[R]. Certainly there be that delight in giddiness,
and co[U]nt it a bondage to fix a belief; affecting free-will
in [T]hinking, as well as in acting. And though the sects of
p[H]ilosophers of that kind be gone, yet there remain certain
discoursing wits which are of the same veins, though there be not so
much blood in them as was in those of the ancient(S). But it is not
only the difficulty and labour which men take in finding out (O)f truth;
nor again that when it is found it imposeth upon men's thoughts; tha(T)
doth bring lie{S} in favour; but a natural though corrupt love of t{H}e
lie its(E)lf. One of the later school of the Greci{A}ns examineth the
matter, and is at a (S)tand to thin{K} what should be in it, that men
should love lies, wh{E}re neither (T)hey make for pleasure, as with
poets, nor for advantage, as with the merchant; but for the lie's sake.
But I cannot tell: this same truth is a naked and open day-light, that
doth not shew the masks and mummeries and triumphs of the world, half
so stately and daintily as candle-lights. Truth may perhaps come to the
price of a pearl, that sheweth best by day; but it will not rise to the
price of a diamond or carbuncle, that sheweth best in varied lights.
A mixture of a lie doth ever add pleasure.

<<One of the 1623 First Folios in the Folger Shakespeare Library
(no. 26 according to the Folger numbering) contains 3 handwritten
poems on the last end page of the volume, written in a secretary
hand dating from approximately the 1620s. The first of these is
the poem from Shakespeare's monument in the Stratford church
("Stay passenger why go'st thou by so fast"). The second
is not recorded elsewhere, and goes as follows:

<<In 1631, a year before his death, John WeEVER published the massive
Ancient Funerall Monuments, which recorded many inscriptions from
monuments around England, particularly in Canterbury, Rochester,
London, and Norwich. Shakespeare's monument does not appear in the
published book, but two of WeEVER's notebooks, containing his drafts
for most of the book as well as many unpublished notes, survive as
Society of Antiquaries MSS. 127 and 128. In one of these notebooks,
under the heading "Stratford upon Avon," WeEVER recorded the poems
from Shakespeare's monument and his gravestone, as follows:
..........................................................

and opposite the last two lines of the epitaph
he wrote "vpo[n] the grave stone".>>

on or about September 9 he made the following entry:

in the church in that towne there are some monuments, which
church was built by Archbishop Stratford. Those worth

<<In 1561 John Stow (c. 1525 - 6 April 1605) published, The woorkes of Geffrey Chaucer, newly printed with divers additions whiche were never in printe before. This was followed in 1565 by his Summarie of Englyshe Chronicles. Stow having in his dedication to the edition of 1567 referred to the rival publication of Richard Grafton (c. 1500 - c. 1572) in terms, the dispute between them became extremely embittered.
Stow's antiquarian tastes brought him under ecclesiastical suspicion as a person "with many dangerous and superstitious books in his possession", and in 1568 his house was searched. An inventory was taken of certain books he possessed "in defence of papistry." In 1580, Stow published his Annales, or a Generale Chronicle of England from Brute until the present yeare of Christ 1580. Stow's Survey of London published in 1598, not only interesting for the quaint simplicity of its style and its amusing descriptions and anecdotes, but of unique value for its detailed account of the buildings, social condition and customs of London in the time of Queen Elizabeth I. A 2nd edition appeared in his lifetime in 1603, a 3rd with additions by Anthony Munday in 1618. Through the patronage of archbishop Matthew Parker, Stow was able to print the Flores historiarum of Matthew of Westminster in 1567, the Chronicle of Matthew Paris in 1571, and the Historia brevis of Thomas Walsingham in 1574. In the Chronicle of England 1590 Stow writes: "To The Honorable Sir John Hart, Lord Maior, The Chronicle written before that nothing is perfect the first time, and that it is incident to mankinde to erre and slip sometimes, but the point of fanta[s]tical fooles to preserve and continue in their errors."
Ben Jonson relates that Stow jocularly asked two mendicant cripples "what they would have to take him to their order." Stow was buried in the church of St Andrew Undershaft, where the monument erected by his widow, a terracotta figure of him, still remains. The pen held in the hand of his alabaster monument is renewed every three years by the Lord Mayor of the City of London.>>

<<Andrew {CROOK}e (died 20 September 1674) and William Cooke (died 1641?) were London publishers of the mid-17th-century. In partnership and individually, they issued significant texts of English Renaissance drama, most notably of the plays of James Shirley. Andrew {CROOK}e was the son of a William {CROOK}e, a yeoman of Kingston Blount, Oxfordshire. On 26 March 1629, Andrew {CROOK}e won his "freedom" of the Stationers Company — that is to say, he gained full membership in the guild of London booksellers, publishers, and printers — and in time "became one of the leading publishers of his day." Perhaps his most notable solo achievements were the 1640 publication of the second edition of Ben Jonson's 1616 folio, and his editions of the Religio Medici of Sir [T]homas [BROWNE]. (Of the latter, {CROOK}e published two unauthorized editions in 1642, and the authorized and corrected edition of 1643, plus subsequent editions in 1645, 1648, 1656, 1659, 1669, and 1672). His currently best-known publication is Thomas Hobbes' scientific & political tract Leviathan.>>

. Essays or Counsels I. Of [TRUTH]. (by Bacon)
WHAT is [TRUTH]? said jesting Pilate; and would not stay for
an answe[R]. Certainly there be that delight in giddiness,
and co[U]nt it a bondage to fix a belief; affecting free-will
in [T]hinking, as well as in acting. And though the sects of
p[H]ilosophers of that kind be gone, yet there remain certain
discoursing wits which are of the same veins, though there be not so
much blood in them as was in those of the ancient(S). But it is not
only the difficulty and labour which men take in finding out (O)f truth;
nor again that when it is found it imposeth upon men's thoughts; tha(T)
doth bring lie{S} in favour; but a natural though corrupt love of t{H}e
lie its(E)lf. One of the later school of the Greci{A}ns examineth the
matter, and is at a (S)tand to thin{K} what should be in it, that men
should love lies, wh{E}re neither (T)hey make for pleasure, as with
poets, nor for advantage, as with the merchant; but for the lie's sake.
But I cannot tell: this same truth is a naked and open day-light, that
doth not shew the masks and mummeries and triumphs of the world, half
so stately and daintily as candle-lights. Truth may perhaps come to the
price of a pearl, that sheweth best by day; but it will not rise to the
price of a diamond or carbuncle, that sheweth best in varied lights.
A mixture of a lie doth ever add pleasure.

17th-century References to Shakespeare's Stratford Monument

<<One of the 1623 First Folios in the Folger Shakespeare Library
(no. 26 according to the Folger numbering) contains 3 handwritten
poems on the last end page of the volume, written in a secretary

the poem from Shakespeare's monument in the Stratford church
("Stay passenger why go'st thou by so fast"). The second
is not recorded elsewhere, and goes as follows:

17th-century References to Shakespeare's Stratford Monument

<<In 1631, a year before his death, John WeEVER published the massive
Ancient Funerall Monuments, which recorded many inscriptions from
monuments around England, particularly in Canterbury, Rochester,
London, and Norwich. Shakespeare's monument does not appear in the
published book, but two of WeEVER's notebooks, containing his drafts
for most of the book as well as many unpublished notes, survive as
Society of Antiquaries MSS. 127 and 128. In one of these notebooks,
under the heading "Stratford upon Avon," WeEVER recorded the poems
from Shakespeare's monument and his gravestone, as follows:
..........................................................

Make him lose all his Friends; and, which is wo(R)se,
Almost all ways, to any better course.

And which thou brought'st me, welcome Poverty.

But I repent me: Stay. Who e're is rais'd,
For worth he has not, He is tax'd, not prais'd.

Seventeenth-century References
to Shakespeare's Stratford Monument by David Kathman
http://shakespeareauthorship.com/monrefs.html
<<In 1634 a military company of Norwich was travelling through
the English countryside. One Lieutenant [Hammond] of the company
kept a diary of what he encountered during his travels, and
on or about September 9 he made the following entry:
In that dayes travell we came by Stratford upon Avon, where
in the church in that towne there are some monuments, which
church was built by Archbishop Stratford. Those worth
observing, and which wee tooke notice of, were these.
The monument of Sr. Hugh Clopton, who built tha(T) [S]trong
stone bridge of f(A|Y]re arches over that riv(E|R]. He was
Ld. Mayor of Londo(N). [A] (NEAT) monument of that f(A|M]ous
English poet, Mr. Wm. Shakespeere, who was borne heere.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ea/John_Stow.jpg
<<In 1561 John Stow (c. 1525 - 6 April 1605) published, The woorkes of Geffrey Chaucer, newly printed with divers additions whiche were never in printe before. This was followed in 1565 by his Summarie of Englyshe Chronicles. Stow having in his dedication to the edition of 1567 referred to the rival publication of Richard Grafton (c. 1500 - c. 1572) in terms, the dispute between them became extremely embittered.
Stow's antiquarian tastes brought him under ecclesiastical suspicion as a person "with many dangerous and superstitious books in his possession", and in 1568 his house was searched. An inventory was taken of certain books he possessed "in defence of papistry." In 1580, Stow published his Annales, or a Generale Chronicle of England from Brute until the present yeare of Christ 1580. Stow's Survey of London published in 1598, not only interesting for the quaint simplicity of its style and its amusing descriptions and anecdotes, but of unique value for its detailed account of the buildings, social condition and customs of London in the time of Queen Elizabeth I. A 2nd edition appeared in his lifetime in 1603, a 3rd with additions by Anthony Munday in 1618. Through the patronage of archbishop Matthew Parker, Stow was able to print the Flores historiarum of Matthew of Westminster in 1567, the Chronicle of Matthew Paris in 1571, and the Historia brevis of Thomas Walsingham in 1574. In the Chronicle of England 1590 Stow writes: "To The Honorable Sir John Hart, Lord Maior, The Chronicle written before that nothing is perfect the first time, and that it is incident to mankinde to erre and slip sometimes, but the point of fanta[s]tical fooles to preserve and continue in their errors."
Ben Jonson relates that Stow jocularly asked two mendicant cripples "what they would have to take him to their order." Stow was buried in the church of St Andrew Undershaft, where the monument erected by his widow, a terracotta figure of him, still remains. The pen held in the hand of his alabaster monument is renewed every three years by the Lord Mayor of the City of London.>>
