The True Tragedy. I hid. p. 141. 'for to' in other passages is equally at variance with that theory and with Mr. Dyce's--that the plays in question are wholly by Marlowe. For as Shakespeare in no other play uses 'where as' for 'where' and 'when as' for 'when, ' so, I believe, neither Shakespeare nor Marlowe ever uses 'for to.'
