No serious Academic Shakespeare expert,
familiar with "Polimanteia (1595)",
seems to have "judged" the Fall of a very special Common-Wealth....
1. Why its author W.C. is asking the reader already on "the title page" (and throughout the book) to "judge his fall" (what is meant by this ? The fall of whom?) and
2. Why it was not the fall of an unknown clergy man -->William Cowell or writer --> William Clerke, but the fall of Marlowe: he clearly identifies himself throughout the book as an outstanding exceptional wit, as the concealed author Christopher Marlowe alias Breton, Percie, Willobie, Lodge, Davies, Drayton , Shakspear a.o.

"Polimanteia" means "Multiple Meanings". In a breath taking literary performance the author combines his mixture of literary dexterity and skill with his own destiny. On the surface "first" level you will be given the means to judge the "historical decline" (fall) of the Commonwealth (England); on a "second" deeper level, however, you are asked to judge the fall of single person, a Commonwealth. (Marlowe)
Significant and powerful arguments ( s.in german subchapter 11) imply that W.C. is a pseudonym of the author of "POLIMANTEIA, the "true" Shakespeare [alias Marlowe](s. Blogs 404, 405, 406, 407))
It's an early literary attempt of the author not only to reveal his personal situation to the "Upper-Class" of England on a sophisticated, metaphoric level...
but also to inform insiders about his poetical pennames
<---------------
such as Britton, Willobie (Fidessa!!!), Fraunce, Lodge, Davies [of Lincoln Innes] and Drayton....
He states allegorically that his pseudonymous poets (located in Oxford)
"all are able to sing (i.e.write) sweetly when it pleaseth thee"
