E. B. Weinstein: STC Weinstein lists I:50-51 under E. B. [Edward Blackmore]. Presumably, the last name comes from STC. BBTI lists numerous possible names with initials of E. B. of publishers active in London ca. 1630. Plomer lists an Edward Blackmore, but sends us to 1641-1667 Dictionary. ESTC lists E. B[lackmore], and notes that name and date "suggested by STC." Settling on Edward Blackmore as the name at this time seems too uncertain. Unclear to me where Weinstein gets the full name.

TO all christian people, this ditty belongs, That have the true sense, of their ears, eyes, and tongues: If well they doe keepe it t'will profit them bring, I give but this Item: take heed's a faire thing. Be sure above all things, that God thou doe serve, That safely from dangers, doth still thee preserve: Him laud for his mercy, and praise to him sing, And of that be not slacke: take heed's a faire thing. See next that thy parents, thou love and obey, Be rul'd by their counsells beleeve what they say: If so thou persever, in thy tender spring, Thy age will be blessed: take heed's a faire thing. To fawning loose friendship, see thou doe not trust, Give good words for good words, for flattery must
With truth strive to wrastle, but fly thou her sting, Beware of her lurches: take heed's a faire thing. Let not thy kind heart, make thy credit to cracke, Too prodigall be not, nor whats fitting lacke, To sheepskin and wax, see thy hand never cling In thriving observe this, take heed's a faire thing. Lewd Company see that, by no meanes thou keepe, Lest shame with disgrace then upon thee doe creepe: And danger into her relaps will thee bring, Give care to my counsell, take heed's a faire thing. Let no tempting harlot bewitch or intice, To sell that for lust, which did cost such a price, As his that died for thee, to heaven thee to bring, If thou wilt goe thither: take heed's a faire thing.

DRinke wine but let temperance, measure thy boule, Shun dice, and lewd gaming, if thou love thy soule. Be just in thy calling, then consciences sting, Shall never oppresse thee, take heed's a faire thing. Vaine-glory and pride, like the devill from fly, Foule theft and adultery, come thou not nigh, Wrath see thou eschew, for to murther twill bring, Then shamefull death followes: take heed's, etc. Extortion and covetousnesse, see that thou hate, If that the white path, thou wouldst tread that is straight, For the broad way in fury,, to hell wil thee bring, And too many finde it, take heed's, etc. If much thou possessest, be good to the poore, Let Charity never, depart from thy doore, Then fame of thy bounty, and goodnesse shall sing, But if thou doo other, take heed's, etc.
Take heed of repining at other mens good, Beare patiently losses, for tis understood, That who so continues, his conscience will bring A peaceable ending, take heed's, etc. Delight not in popular glory as vaine, Like April sunshine, thats mixed with raine But keepe within compasse, and plenty will bring, The best of her labours. take heed's, etc. Be awefull ore servants, but not too precise: Be friendly with friendship, and friendly him prise, But if thou in danger thy selfe for him bring, The begger will catch thee, take heed's, etc. Thus doing content with true peace shalt thou find, And nothing disturbe thee, in body or minde: And after death brings thee, where Angels doe sing, Thou shalt live for ever. take heed's a faire thing.
