Edmund Spencer

I have said before that Sir Philip Sidney, and Sir Walter Raleigh were his acquaintance. Sir John Denham told me, that Abp. Usher, Lord Primate of Armagh, was acquainted with him ; by this token: when Sir William Davedant's Gondibert came forth, Sir John asked the Lord Primate if he had seen it. Said the Primate, out upon him, with his vaunting preface, he speaks against my old friend Edmund Spencer.
