The overthrow of stage-playes : by way of controversie betwixt D. Gager and D. Rainoldes, wherein all the reasons that can be made for them are notably refuted, the obiections answered, and the case so cleared and resolved as that the iudgement of any man that is not froward and perverse may easilie bee satisfied : wherein is manifestly proved that it is not onely vnlawfull to be an actor, but a beholder of those vanities : whereunto are added also and annexed in the end certaine Latine letters betwixt the said Maister Rainoldes and Doct. Gentiles, reader of the civill law in Oxford, concerning the same matter.
