Evidence:
'This evening, being in an humour of making all things even and clear in the world, I tore some old paper; among others, a Romance which (under the title of "Love a Cheate") I began ten year ago at Cambridge; and at this time, reading it over tonight, I liked it very well and wondered a little at myself at my vein at that time when I wrote it, doubting that I cannot do so well now if I would try.'
