12.  The Banditti, or a Lady’s Distress; a Comedy; acted at the Theatre-Royal 1688.  This play met with great opposition during the performance, which was disturbed by the Catcalls.  This occasioned the author to take his revenge upon the town, by dedicating it to a certain Knight, under the title of Sir Critic Cat-call.  The chief plot of this play is founded on a Romance written by Don Francisco de las Coveras, called Don Fenise, translated into English in 8vo.  See the History of Don Antonio, b. iv. p. 250.  The design of Don Diego’s turning Banditti, and joining with them to rob his supposed father, resembles that of Pipperollo in Shirley’s play called the Sisters.  Scene Madrid.

13.  A Fool’s Preferment, or the Three Dukes of Dunstable; a Comedy; acted at the Queen’s Theatre in Dorset-Garden 1688, dedicated to Charles Lord Morpeth, in as familiar a way as if the Author was a man of Quality.  The whole play is little more than a transcript of Fletcher’s Noble Gentlemen, except one scene, which is taken from a Novel called The Humours of Basset.  Scene the Court, in the time of Henry iv.  The songs in this play were all composed by the celebrated Musician Mr. Henry Purcell.

14.  Bussy D’Amboise, or the Husband’s Revenge; a Tragedy; acted at the Theatre-Royal, 4to. 1691, addressed to Edward Earl of Carlisle.  This is a play of Mr. Chapman’s revis’d, and the character of Tamyra, Mr. D’Urfey tells us, he has altered for the better.  The scene Paris.

15.  Love for Money, or the Boarding School; a Comedy; acted at the Theatre-Royal 1691, dedicated to Charles Lord Viscount Lansdown, Count of the Sacred Roman Empire, &c.  This play met with opposition in the first day’s representation, but afterwards succeeded pretty well.  The scene Chelsea.

16.  The Richmond Heiress, or a Woman once in the Right; a Comedy, acted at the Theatre-Royal 1693.

17.  The Marriage-Hater Matched, a Comedy; acted at the Theatre-Royal 1693, addressed to James Duke of Ormond.  Mr. Charles Gildon, in an epistle prefixed to the play, tells us, that this is much the best of our author’s performances.  Mr. Dogget was first taken notice of as an excellent actor, from the admirable performance of his part in this play.  Scene the Park, near Kensington.

18.  The Comical History of Don Quixot, Part the First; acted at the Queen’s Theatre in Dorset-Garden 1694, dedicated to the Duchess of Ormond.  This play was acted with great applause; it is wholly taken from the Spanish Romance of that name.  Scene Mancha in Spain.
