If one at a solemne stage plaie, would take vpon hym to plucke of the plaiers garments whiles theyr were saying theyr partes, and so disciphre vnto lokers on, the true and natiue faces of eche of the plaiers, shoulde he not (trow ye) marre all the mattier? And well deserue for a madman to be pelted out of place with stones? Ye shoulde see yet straightwaies a new transmutacion in thynges: that who before plaied the woman, should than appeare to be a man: who seemed youth, should shew his hore heares: who counrefaited the kynge, should tourne to a rascall, and who plaied god almightie became a cobbler as he was before. Yet take awaie this errour, and as soone take awaie all togethers, in as muche as the feigning and counterfaitying is it that so delighteth the beholders. So likewise, all this life of mortall men, what is it els, but a certaine kynde of stage plaie?
