Brome has made use of this theme in a few other plays. There are two bare allusions in the Damoiselle (1. 1, p. 380) and the Queen's Exchange (3. 1, p. 502). But his most important treatment of the subject is the Court Begger, which seems to have been written during the very year that preceded the final abolition of the abuse. This play centres chiefly in a projector, and treats the theme with much wit and cleverness. Other treatments of the projector by contemporaries, not yet mentioned, are Massinger's Emperor of the East; The President of the Projectors (1631); Strode's Floating Island 3.4 (1636); Newcastle's Captain Underwit 2.3 (c. 1640); A Projector being lately Dead, which is a non-extant play mentioned in A Collection of Judgements upon SabbathBreakers (1636);1 and Thomas Herbert's Newes out of Islington; or, a Dialogue very merry and pleasant betwixt a knavish Projector, and honest Clad, the Ploughman. With certain Songs of the late fall of the new Beare-garden; and for the fall of Projectors (London, 1641). And finally, The Stage Player's Complaint2 (1641) has a passage worth quoting: ' For Monopolies are downe, Projectors are downe, the High Commission Court is downe, the Starre-chamber is downe, and (some think) Bishops will downe.'
