Inventions of P. Plasmos Touching -
his hap and hard fortune, unto the which
is annexed the sundrie complaintes of foure notable
couseners, the instrumentes of his greatest troubles;
which, in the prime of their mischievous enterprises,
with soudaine death and vexation were straungelie
visited. At the end of every of the said inven-
tions, for the more plaine knowledge

monition in prose, both plea-

The Reporter.
I have (good reader) at large reported the adventures of P. Plasmos, intermixte with these following inventions, together with the complaint of certaine couseners. And sure the labour stande very well with my owne contentment, for that the accidents of his evil fortunes might have forewarned other younge gentlemen to have shunde the like follies; and that the fall of the said couseners might have taught other greedie carrens to have respect unto their consciences. And nowe to the condition of P. Plasmos in the prime of his unthriftines: it appeareth by his fonde triumph that hee was insected with (selfe love), the overthrow of many younge gentlemen, who seeing sufficiencie in themselves to bee advaunced to winne credite and acquaintaunce, so sarre passe the boundes of their abilitie, that, longe before countenaunce taketh notice of their desertes, by the inforcemente of necessitie they are gladde of meane maintenaunce at home with their friendes. Such gallantes, by the sequele of P. Plasmos fortunes, may learne to understande their mishappes, and in reading of his fantasies may likewise see the counterfet of their owne follies; whose fond triumph in this sort beginneth.
