 INTRODUCTORY NOTICE. 
 
 IN a rare tract, entitled " Martin Mark-all, Beadle 
 of Bridewell," Cock Lorell is represented as the 
 head of a gang of thieves. " After him," says the 
 writer, " succeeded by the generall councel one 
 Cock Lorell, the most notorious knave that ever 
 lived. By trade he was a tinker, often carrying a 
 panne and a hammer for a shew, but when he came 
 to a good booty he would cast his profession in a 
 ditch and play the padder,* and then would away ; 
 and, as hee past through the toune, would crie, * Ha' 
 you any work for a tinker ?' To write of his knav- 
 eries it would aske a long time. I refer you to the 
 old manuscript remayning in record in Maunders' 
 Hall.f This was he that reduced and brought in 
 forme the Catalogue of Vagabonds, or Quartern e 
 of Knaves, called the five and twentie orders of 
 Knaves. 
 
 " This Cock Lorell continued among them longer 
 than any of his predecessors before him, or after him, 
 for he ruled almost two and twentie years until the 
 year A.D. 1533, and about the five and twentie 
 year of Henry the Eighth.' 1

 iv INTRODUCTION. 
 
 In the present Satire, the name of this distin- 
 guished rogue has been used appropriately enough, 
 to usher in before the reader the train of wor- 
 thies whom he no doubt would have delighted to 
 honour. Upwards of thirty years ago, the attention 
 of the curious was attracted to the work, by the 
 Reverend William Beloe, in his " Anecdotes of Li- 
 terature and Scarce Works,"* but by some strange 
 misconception the reverend author converted Cock 
 LorelPs "bote" into his "vote." This is the more 
 remarkable, as he refers to a passage in Bishop 
 Percy's Reliques, where the title is correctly given.f 
 
 Dr Dibdin, in his new edition of Ames' Typogra- 
 phical Antiquities, included this little work amongst 
 those published without date by Wynkyn de Worde, 
 but could only refer to one existing fragment of it, 
 in the Garrick collection. This imperfect copy he 
 seems never to have examined personally, for he 
 mentions he was " indebted to Mr H. Ellis of the 
 British Museum" for specimens "of this singular per- 
 formance," and he strangely talks " of the licentious 
 and predatory character of its AUTHOR," " one Cock 
 Lorell," whose " popularity has, I believe, escaped 
 the notice of our chroniclers. "J

 INTRODUCTION. v 
 
 The learned Doctor has referred to no evidence to 
 substantiate this singular assertion, and it probably 
 was made solito more without reflection, as it would 
 be uncharitable to suppose that Mr (now Sir Henry) 
 Ellis could have led him to commit such a mistake. 
 Who the author may have been will probably never 
 be ascertained, but that he was a man of consider- 
 able talent will readily be admitted. Under the ban- 
 ner of Cock Lorell, he has collected together va- 
 rious personages whose vices and hidden practices 
 are disclosed with infinite spirit and humour. It 
 presents a curious and entertaining picture of the 
 habits and morals of the inferior classes of society in 
 the metropolis, during the reign of the bluff Harry. 
 
 At a later date, Dekker employed his able pen 
 in describing the practices and frailties of the lower 
 orders. His works, and all those of a similar class, 
 are exceedingly rare. Even some of a still more 
 recent period are almost equally scarce, and none 
 more so than one of Dunton's little books, entitled 
 " The Informer's Doom, or an Amazing and Season- 
 able Letter from Utopia, directed to the Man in the 
 Moon, giving a full and Pleasant Account of the 
 Arraignment, Tryal, and Condemnation of all those 
 Grand and Bitter Enemies that disturb and molest 
 all Kingdoms and States throughout the Christian

 World. To which is added, (as a caution to honest 
 country men,) the Arraignment and Condemnation 
 of the Knavery and Cheats that are used in every par- 
 ticular Trade in the City of London. Presented to 
 the consideration of all the Tantivy-Lads and Lasses 
 in Urope, by a true son of the Church of England. 
 Curiously illustrated with about Threescore Cuts. 
 London, Printed for John Dunton at the Black- 
 Raven, in the Poultry, over-against Stocks-Market, 
 1683." 12mo. The only copy of this amusing work 
 the editor ever saw is defective in two or three 
 leaves. It well merits reprinting. 
 
 Cock Lorell was given as a contribution to the 
 Roxburghe Club in 1817, by the late Rev. Henry 
 Drury, but as thirty-five copies only were printed 
 of which two were on vellum his " Bote" is nearly 
 as unattainable as it was before it was patronized 
 by the Roxburghers. To gratify, however, the ad- 
 mirers of ancient literature, a limited impression of 
 forty copies, from a transcript of the original, has 
 been hazarded.
