(It is frequently stated that there is an edition of the play printed by
Rastell in 1533. This appears to be an error, arising from a mistake of
Lowndes, who, in his Bibliographer's Manual (1859), enters under Hey-
wood's name The play of Love; or a new and a very mery Enterlude of all
maner (of) weathers. London. imprinted by W. Rastell. 1533, and states
that there is a copy at St John's college, Oxford. Lowndes here confuses
two plays; it is the 1533 edition of the Play of the wether (see infra)
which is preserved in the St John's library, but the entry has given
currency to the mistaken view that there is also an edition of the Play of
love belonging to the same date. )
