Christ's Burial and Resurrection; With an Incomplete Morality of Wisdom, Who Is Christ (Part of One of the Macro Moralities) The first Play, Herod's Killing of the Children' or 'murder of the Innocents, ' and the Purification, is one Of a set of New Testament Plays, -the Seventh, says Stowe, p. I, l. 2, below, but the 3rd, I suppose, the 'annunciation and Birth of Christ' being the first, and the 'adorations of the Shepherds and the Three Kings' being the zud. Only one Of these plays was playd yearly, says our text, p. 2, so that the place it was acted in must have been some small town or village; and no mention is made of any Trade supplying the Actors. The 4th Play of the set was to be Christ Dis puting with the Doctors in the Temple, ' see p. 23; and so, if the set of after Plays was 23 in number, like the Coventry new-testament set, it would take the villagers 23 years to get through the story of Christ's life. But no doubt several subjects were lumpt into one play in the Series to which this Killing of the Children belongd.
