Says Carlyle in his survey of the beginnings of the seventeenth-century prefatory to the Cromwell letters: "In January, 1603-4, was held at Hampton Court a kind of Theological Convention of intense interest all over England ... now very dimly known, if at all known, as the 'Hampton Court Conference'. It was a meeting for the settlement of some dissentient humours in religion.... Four world-famous Doctors from Oxford and Cambridge represented the pious straitened class, now beginning to be generally conspicuous under the nickname Puritans.
Additional allusions to dramatic publications from the years 1603-4 will be found on pp. 201, 202. The list is kept up in proper succession as far as 'John Davis. Then there are variations, and names not contained in that list. These additions mostly refer to dramatic authors, whilst the previous names, as far as 'John Davis, only refer to lyric poets.
The fact is, we find in the play certain evident allusions which could not possibly have been added before the years 1603-4; for instance, references to the translators of Montaigne John Florio, and the friends who aided him; references which must have been made after the Essais were published.
