Judgments about the arts: mind what you put in! Ben Jonson tells his audience how much they may assess what they see, depending on their means:

It is further agreed that every person here have his or their free-will of censure, to like or dislike at their own charge, the playwright having now departed with his right. It shall be lawful for any man to judge his six-pence worth, his twelve-pence worth, or up to his eighteen pence, two shillings, half a crown, to the value of his place, provided always his station get not above his wit. And if he would pay for half a dozen spectators, he may censure for all them too, as long as he will undertake that they shall be silent. He shall put in for censures here, as they do for lots at the lottery: and yet if he drop but six pence at the door, and will censure a crown’s worth, it is thought that is without conscience or justice.

It is also agreed, that every man here exercise his own judgment and not censure by contagion, or upon trust, from another’s voice, or face, that sits by him, even if he not be first in the Commission of Wit: As also, that he be fixed and settled in his censure, that what he approves, or does not approve today, he will do the same tomorrow, and if tomorrow, the next day, and so the next week (if need be) and not change his views by anyone that sits on the bench with him, though they indict and arraign plays on a daily basis. He that will swear that The Spanish Tragedy or Titus Andronicus are the best plays still, shall not be criticized here, since he is a man whose judgment shows it is constant and has stood still these five- and twenty or thirty years. Though it be an ignorance, it is a virtuous and fixed ignorance; and next to truth, a confirmed error does well; the playwright knows where to find him such a one.
