A Gentleman now living, formerly a Domestick of the Right Honourable Charles, Earl of Dorset and Middlesex; and since teaches School in the Country. He has given us One Play, called,
The Rival Sisters, or the Violence of Love, a Tragedy, Acted at the Theatre Royal, by his Majesty's Servants 4to. 1696. and Dedicated to the Right Honourable, James, Earl of Abingdon, &c.
