[516] Procl. 114, 122, 155, 176. The texts of 1529 and 1530 are in Wilkins, Concilia, iii. 737, 740; that of 1538 in Burnet, Hist. of Reformation, vi. 220; cf. Pollard, Sh. F. 6, and in 3 Library, x. 57. I find ‘Cum priuilegio ad imprimendum solum’ in the colophon of Acolastus (1540) and in both t.p. and colophon of Troas (1559); also ‘Seen and allowed &c.’ in the t.p. of Q2 of Gorboduc (c. 1570), ‘Perused and Alowed’ at the end of Gammer Gurton’s Needle (1575), and ‘Seen and allowed, according to the order appointed in the Queenes maiesties Injunctions’ in the t.p. of The Glass of Government (1575). Otherwise these precautions became dead letters, so far as plays were concerned.
[517] Procl. 295 (part only in Wilkins, iv. 1; cf. Pollard, Sh. F. 7). The ‘daye of the printe’ is in the t.ps. of Thyestes (1560), Oedipus (1563), Gordobuc (1565), Four Ps (1569), and the colophon of Promos and Cassandra (1578); the year and month in the t.p. of King Darius (1565). Earlier printers had given the day in the colophons of Mundus et Infans (1522), Johan Johan (1533), and The Pardoner and the Friar (1533).
