A37513	The honour of the gentle craft a discourse of mirth and wit to the renown of those two princes Crispine and Crispianus, and all the true lovers thereof : the last and best part being a most merry and pleasant history not altogether unprofitable, nor any way hurtful : and for the glory of the gentle craft, let all men say that a shoemakers son is a prince born / by T.D. ; with a new merry song in the praise of the gentle craft, and to be sung by them every morning on the 25th day of October.	Deloney, Thomas, 1543?-1600.	1660 (1660)	Wing D954A; ESTC R30293	44,173	70
