Excerpt from Everyman
An imperfect copy of an other edition from Pynson's press is preserved among the Garrick plays at the British Museum It evidently once had the collation but the last two gatherings are alone extant. It is printed in the same type as the Bodleian fragment, with which it agrees page for page, but it differs alike from that and all other known editions in having the speakers' names in smaller type than the text. In the presence of signatures and signature-titles, and the absence of catch-words, running-titles and pagination, it agrees with Skot's edi tions. The type-page (including signatures and speakers' names) measures 147 X 109 mm. The fragment has been interleaved and collated with the Copy now at Britwell. In this edition the Latin phrases are printed in roman type to distinguish them from the English text, which is, of course. In black letter. In the reprint they have been rendered in italic, but the original arrangement can be seen in the facsimile.

February 10, 2016Thought provoking in that all that we depend on each day, strength, friends (fellowship), beauty, our five senses, discretion, money (goods), and even knowledge., all forsake us at death.
Whereas the Bible says rewards are based on good deeds (1 Cor. 3:11-15), this play says our salvation is partly based on our goods deeds.
