To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Greedinesse, Wantonnesse, WastefuU- nesse, and No-good-Neighbourhood, though abstractions in name, are in reality types of wrongdoers, each of whom is especially addicted to the kind of wrongdoing that' his name implies : Greedinesse is the man actuated by greed of wealth, Wantonnesse is the wanton young woman who lusts for pleas- ure, Wastefullnesse is the careless and wasteful young man, and No-good-Neighbourhood is the bad neighbor. But since we are governed in our classifications by the int...ernal evidence of the play, we must note a fragment of contradictory evidence as to the nature of the most important of these types, namely, Greedinesse. As Corage is sitting in council, Greedinesse, his friend and disciple, enters in a rather perturbed state of mind. He has been reproached for his lack of good citizenship, and his drowsy conscience has almost been stirred by the reproach. As I walked along through the streate, By such wayes as mine affayres did lie, It was my chance with a preacher to meete, Whose company to have I did not deny : And as we two together did walke, Amongest other communication we had, The preacher brake out with reprocheable talk, Saying that we cittizens were all to bad.
