Excerpt from A Select Collection of Old Plays, Vol. 8 of 12: In Twelve Volumes Thomas Lodge, in his Alarum against Usurers, 1584, speaks of his "birth," and of "the offspring from whence he came," as if he were at least respectably descended; and on the authority of Anthony Wood, it has been asserted by all subsequent biographers, that he was of a Lincolnshire family. Thomas Salter, about the year 1580, dedicated his Mirror of Modesty to Sir Thomas Lodge; but whether he were related to the poet, it is now, perhaps, impossible to ascertain. Langbaine seems to be under a mistake when he states that Lodge was of Cambridge. Wood claims him for the University of Oxford, where he traces him as early as 1573, when he must have been about seventeen years old, if he were born, as is generally supposed, in 1556. We are told by himself that he was a Servitor of Trinity College, and that he was educated under Sir Edward Hobby. At what time, and for what cause Lodge left Oxford is not known; but Stephen Gosson, in the dedication of his Plays confuted in five Actions, printed about 1582, accuses him of having become "a vagrant person, visited by the heavy hand of God," as if he had taken to the stage, and thereby had incurred the vengeance of Heaven. In 1584, when Lodge answered Gosson, he was a student of Lincoln's Inn; and to "his courteous friends, the Gentlemen of the Inns of Court," he dedicated his Alarum against Usurers.
