About the time of the production of the Spanish Tragedy, or shortly after, Kyd evidently came into a fairly close association with Marlowe. From 1590 to 1593 both dramatists were in the service of the same "noble lord." This contact had unfortunate results for Kyd. Some of his papers were seized in Marlowe's rooms when the government was preparing to arrest that gentleman on a charge of heresy. On the strength of this Kyd's lodging was searched and Kyd himself imprisoned and tortured. When, after the death of Marlowe, he was released, he could never regain his former place in the world and died in poverty shortly afterwards.
The Spanish Tragedy is, perhaps, the only surviving dramatic outpouring of Kyd's "rampant and lurid genius." It had everything--ghosts, insanity, murder, suicide--to shock the sensation-loving audiences of the day. There is no doubt that the play exercised a certain amount of influence on the writings of Kyd's contemporaries. http://www.theatredatabase.com/16th_century/thomas_kyd_001.html
Marlowe was also arrested.

All but conclusive evidence that Shakespeare wrote 325 anomalous lines of The Spanish Tragedy by Thomas Kyd has been revealed by an American scholar. In new research, University of Texas professor Douglas Bruster analysed a sample of the playwright's famously scrappy handwriting to identify very strong similarities between it and the hand that wrote the play's so-called Additional Passages.
There has been much-disputed speculation in the past that Shakespeare was their author but "I think we can say with some authority that, yes, this is Shakespeare," Professor Eric Rasmussen, an editor of the Royal Shakespeare Company Shakespeare told the New York Times. "It has his fingerprints all over it."
Using a sample of Shakespeare's handwriting owned by the British Library, Bruster identified a series of irregularities including patterns of spelling – blest instead of blessed, for example – and other idiosyncrasies, and demonstrated that they are echoed in the 325 lines of the Additional Passages.http://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/aug/13/shakespeare-wrote-lines-thomas-kyd-play

THIS ACCOUNT BEGINS in the Winter of 1593, when Elizabeth launched the first all-out heresy hunt since the reign of her sister Mary -- and the last in English history. The Separatist leaders John Barrow and Henry Greenwood, together with the three printers who had published their work, were hanged early that Spring. On March 26, the Queen created a new Royal Commission to hunt down, examine, and punish Barrowists, Separatists, Catholic recusants, counterfeiters, vagrants, and all who "secretlie adhere to our moste capitall Enemy the Bishoppe of Rome or otherwise do willfullie deprave contemne or ympugne the Devine Service and Sacraments." The Queen's Commission did not distinguish between alien religions and no religion, or atheism. Elizabethan church governance rested on the bare premise of outward conformity. The Commissioners incarcerated any parishioners who "refuse to repaire to the Churche to heare Devine service," including many who held no religious beliefs at all.[2] http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/muchado/fine/killing.html

-(My photograph of a photographic copy (1968 edition) of the 1623 first folio. -r): Shown are lines of the Digges Poem that
precedes the 1623 first folio collection of Shakespearean plays, given by Wells Gallup as
the test case for her theory of bi-literal code. Notice the word "thy" occurs 6 times in this shown passage. Are there italic
and roman typeface employed here--two differing typefaces? Try just the word "thy". You have 6x3 letters then to test. One may
use a magnifying glass or even tracing paper. It is necessary to examine, to test, to weigh, to discern.
One cannot afford bias. See Wells Gallup's test case and her purported decoding at

If you are too lazy to examine yourself the typeface involved, then forget testing this. -r

Messenger E C Prophet gave at page 207, book 1, of Lords of the Seven Rays her considered judgment of
Bacon/Shakespeare mystery (this is paragraph 70 of 93 that make up the chapter): "Yet he could have been
an even greater boon to England and the whole world had he been allowed to fulfill his
destiny. The same ciphers which run throughout the Shakespearean plays also run through Francis Bacon's own
works and those of many of his circle of friends. Both ciphers contain his true life story, the musings of his
soul, and anything he wished to bequeath to future generations but could not publish openly for fear of the queen.*"
*taken from Barsi-Greene: I, Prince Tudor, 1973
Barsi-Greene repeats Wells Gallup, Messenger ECP repeated both. But who will actually make the little red hen's bread?
Leave off assertions; test the theory directly! -r

Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.-Fr. Bacon: Essays ............................................................................................................................ 87. One may entrust specially chosen people to look after the quality of certain works. It is needful to fill the consciousness with a realization of continuous test, for people still do not know how to work under test. Meanwhile the whole substance of the world is engaged in mutual testing. But one should understand that testing means also improvement. 179. Do not reject testings, for the solution of life's achievement must be tested by the fire, as steel. Those who trust words are either inexperienced or are not steadfast. Experiment can pass into immutability only through unalterable striving. -Morya: Community 1926 ..................................................................................... Therefore let the right sense of justice--raised up by the LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS within you--renew the foundation of the Law of the One. The Law of the One states that all must live for the One and one must live for the All.... Theirs (neighboring tribes and nations) is a human sense of justice until they be endued with power from on high from that Mighty I AM Presence. -Portia: 11-29-1980 at Camelot, Los Angeles, see https://books.google.com/books?id=7uysHjvJIXgC&pg=PA351&dq=clare+prophet+cipher&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjRqOXYzvXJAhUM12MKHYYvBVYQ6AEIVDAJ#v=onepage&q=clare%20prophet%20cipher&f=false .....................................................................................................................
