The Island Princess, a Tragi-Comedy, revived in 1687 by Mr. Tate. 19. A King and No King, a Tragi-Comedy, acted with applause. 20.

The Little French Lawyer, a Comedy; the plot from Gusman, or the Spanish Rogue. 24. Love's Cure, or the Martial Maid, a Comedy. 25. The Lover's Pilgrimage, a Comedy; the plot is taken from a novel called the Two Damsels, and some incidents from Ben Jonson's New Inn. 26. The Lovers Progress, a Tragi-Comedy; built on a French romance called Lysander and Calista. 27. The Loyal Subject, a Comedy. 28. The Mad Lover, a Tragi-Comedy. 29. The Maid in the Mill, a Comedy. This was revised and acted on the duke of York's Theatre. 30. The Maid's Tragedy; a play always acted with the greatest applause, but some part of it displeasing Charles II, it was for a time forbid to be acted in that reign, till it was revived by Mr. Waller, who entirely altering the last act, it was brought on the stage again with universal applause. 31. A Masque of Grays Inn Gentlemen, presented at the marriage of the Princess Elizabeth and the Prince Palatine of the Rhine, in the Banqueting House at Whitehall.
