draw_v at_o the_o latter_a end_n into_o one_o piece_n as_o into_o one_o company_n which_o in_o my_o opinion_n show_v neither_o usual_a probable_a nor_o natural_a for_o since_o the_o world_n be_v wide_a and_o populate_v and_o their_o various_a action_n disperse_v and_o spread_v about_o by_o each_o particular_a and_o play_v be_v to_o present_v they_o several_o i_o perceive_v no_o reason_n they_o shall_v force_v they_o together_o in_o the_o last_o act_n as_o in_o one_o community_n bring_v they_o in_o as_o i_o may_v say_v by_o head_n and_o shoulder_n make_v the_o person_n of_o each_o humour_n good_a fortune_n misfortune_n nation_n and_o age_n to_o have_v relation_n to_o each_o other_o but_o in_o this_o i_o have_v not_o follow_v the_o step_n of_o precedent_a poet_n for_o in_o my_o

like_o the_o natural_a course_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n as_o some_o die_v soon_o some_o live_v long_o and_o some_o be_v new_o bear_v when_o some_o be_v new_o dead_a and_o not_o all_o to_o continue_v to_o the_o last_o day_n of_o judgement_n so_o my_o scene_n some_o last_v long_o than_o othersome_a and_o some_o be_v end_v when_o other_o be_v begin_v likewise_o some_o of_o my_o scene_n have_v no_o acquaintance_n or_o relation_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o scene_n although_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o play_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n many_o of_o my_o play_n will_v not_o end_v as_o other_o play_v do_v especial_o comedy_n for_o in_o tragicomedy_n i_o think_v poet_n do_v not_o always_o make_v all_o lie_n bleed_v together_o but_o i_o think_v for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o do_v but_o the_o want_n of_o this_o swarm_n in_o the_o last_o act_n and_o scene_n may_v make_v my_o play_n seem_v dull_a and_o vacant_a but_o i_o love_v ease_n so_o well_o as_o i_o hate_v constraint_n even_o in_o my_o work_n for_o i_o have_v rather_o have_v a_o dull_a easy_a life_n than_o be_v force_v to_o active_a gaiety_n so_o i_o have_v rather_o my_o play_n shall_v end_v dull_o than_o unnecessary_o be_v force_v into_o one_o company_n but_o some_o of_o my_o play_n be_v gather_v into_o one_o sheaf_n or_o bundle_n in_o the_o latter_a end_n likewise_o my_o play_n may_v be_v condemn_v because_o they_o follow_v not_o the_o ancient_a custom_n as_o the_o learned_a say_v which_o be_v that_o all_o comedy_n shall_v be_v so_o order_v and_o compose_v as_o nothing_o shall_v be_v present_v therein_o but_o what_o may_v be_v natural_o or_o usual_o practise_v or_o act_v in_o the_o world_n in_o the_o compass_n of_o one_o day_n true_o in_o my_o opinion_n those_o comedy_n will_v be_v very_o flat_a and_o dull_a and_o neither_o profitable_a nor_o pleasant_a that_o shall_v only_o present_v the_o action_n of_o one_o day_n for_o though_o ben_n johnson_n as_o i_o have_v hear_v be_v of_o that_o opinion_n that_o a_o comedy_n can_v be_v good_a nor_o be_v a_o natural_a or_o true_a comedy_n if_o it_o shall_v present_v more_o than_o one_o day_n action_n yet_o his_o comedy_n that_o he_o have_v publish_v can_v never_o be_v the_o action_n of_o one_o day_n for_o can_v any_o rational_a person_n think_v that_o the_o whole_a play_n of_o the_o fox_n can_v be_v the_o action_n of_o one_o day_n or_o can_v any_o rational_a person_n think_v that_o the_o alchemist_n can_v be_v the_o action_n of_o one_o day_n as_o that_o so_o many_o several_a cozen_n can_v be_v act_v in_o one_o day_n by_o

although_o it_o be_v a_o day_n at_o the_o pole_n but_o of_o many_o day_n nay_o i_o may_v say_v some_o year_n but_o to_o my_o reason_n i_o do_v not_o perceive_v a_o necessity_n that_o comedy_n shall_v be_v so_o close_o pack_v or_o thrust_v up_o together_o for_o if_o comedy_n be_v either_o to_o delight_v or_o to_o profit_v or_o to_o both_o they_o must_v follow_v no_o other_o rule_n or_o example_n but_o to_o put_v they_o into_o scene_n and_o act_n and_o to_o order_v their_o several_a discource_n in_o a_o comedy_n so_o as_o physician_n do_v their_o cordial_n wherein_o they_o mix_v many_o
