Two of the six extant manuscripts of Middleton's " A Game at Chess " are from Crane's hand . ( Crane consistently changed all of Middleton's uses of " has " to " hath " in those transcripts, illustrating the complexities involved in using discriminators like " has / hath " and " does / doth " in stylometry studies . ) The play " Sir John van Olden Barnavelt, " never printed in its own era, survived to modern times in a single Crane manuscript . ( In that instance, Crane did a good job of preserving Fletcher's distinctive pattern of textual and stylistic preferences .)
