She notes under imprint "imprint cropped?". Her notes show that STC notes A. Mathewes, but she chooses not to list I:160-161 under A. Mathewes. ESTC indicates "Imprint from STC," and attributes printing to A. Mathewes. I can see no indication of a printer or publisher on the facsimile.

WHen this old Cap was new, tis since two hundred yeere No malice then we knewe, but all things plenty were: [All] friendship now decaid (beleeve me, this is true) Which was not in those dayes, When this old Cap was new. The Nobles of our Land, were much delighted then, To have at their commaund a crue of lusty men. Which by their Coats were knowne, of tawny, red, or blue, With Crests on their sleeves showne, When this old Cap was new. Now pride hath banisht all, unto our Lands reproch, When he whose meanes is small, maintaines both Horse and Coach, Instead of an hundred men, the Coach allowes but two, This was not thought on then, When this old Cap was new.
Good Hospitality, was cherishe then of many, Now poore men starve and dye, and are not helpt by any: For Charity waxeth cold, and love is found in few, This was not in time of old, When this old Cap was new. Where ever you travel'd then, you might meet on the way, Brave Knights and Gentlemen, clad in their Countrey gray. That courteous would appeare, and kindly welcome you. No Puritanes then were, When this old Cap was new. Our Ladies in those dayes, in civill habit went, Broad cloth was then worth praise, and gave the best content, French fashions then were scorn'd, fond fangles then none knew, Then modesty women adorn'd, When this old cap was new.

A Man might then behold, at Christmas in each hall, Good fires to curbe the cold, and meat for great ind small. The neighbours were friendly bidden, and all had welcome true: The poore from the Gates were not chidden When this old Cap was new. Blacke Jackes to every man were fild with wine and Beere, No Pewter pot nor kanne, in those dayes did appeare. Good cheere in a Noblemanes house, was counted a seemely shew: We wanted no brawne nor sowse, When this old Cap was new. We tooke not such delight, in Cups of silver fine: None under a degree of a knight, in Plate dranke beere or Wine. Now eache Mechanicall man, hath a Cupboord of Plate for a [shew]: Which was a rare thing then When this old Cap was new Then Bribery was unborne, no Simony men did use, Christians did Usury scorne, devise'd among the Jewes.
Then Lawyers tooke no Fees, at that time hardly knew, For man with man agrees, When this old Cap was new. No Captaine then carrowst, nor spent poore Souldiers pay. They were not so abus'd, as they are at this day, Of seven dayes they made eight, to keepe them from their due, Poore Souldiers had their right, When this old Cap was new. Which made them forward still, to go all, though not prest, And going with good will, their fortunes were the best,. Our English then in fight, did forraigne foes subdue. And forst them all to flight, When this old Cap was new God save our gracious King, and send him long to live, Lord, mischiefe on them bring, that will not their almes give, But seeke to rob the poore, of that which is their due This was not in time of yore, When this old Cap was new.
