Generally speaking, soft or spongy brakes can be caused by -
Wheel bearings that are out of adjustment
Brake shoes that are out of adjustment
Brand new brake linings that haven't 'bedded-in' yet
Air in the braking system
Other causes can be -
Brake components not secured properly
Worn or damaged self adjusting mechanisms
Wrong brake components fitted
Wet or damp brake linings
Seized or partially seized brake components - wheel cylinders or caliper pistons
Expanding brake hoses
Brake system component seals leaking or not holding pressure
and lastly.................
Contaminated brake fluid or the wrong type of brake fluid
----------------------------------------------------------
Okay, that's quite a list, so lets get down to it........
Chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Release the parking or hand brake.
Clamp off all the flexible brake hoses and test the pedal pressure.
If the pedal pressure is poor the problem lies with the master cylinder.
If the pressure is good then release one of the clamps you placed on the brake pipes and check the pedal pressure again.
Carry on until you release a clamp and the pedal pressure becomes poor - this will indicate the area on the vehicle where the problem lies.
Refer to the list above to guide you to finding the solution to your problem.

Particularly live theater events, Often times allegorical in nature, very much focused on satire, ridicule of the church and the ruling classes. Female roles were typically played be men. The playwrights often used nom de plumes (pen names) to hide their true identity, as to avoid persecution from those being ridiculed. Many plays were written in cryptic tones as to poke fun of the ruling class,w/out the ruling class being aware. It was not uncommon for plays to be raunchy and highly pornographic in theme. (Not actual pornography as we know the term today, though nudity was used on stage).
