A person who builds large hinged boxes (trunks).

Sense（2）

(theater, obsolete) A critic who pounds upon the benches in a show of approval.

This somewhat may be indeed resembled to the famous trunk-maker in the playhouse; for, whenever the person who is possessed of it doth what is right, no ravished or friendly spectator is so eager or so loud in his applause: on the contrary, when he doth wrong, no critic is so apt to hiss and explode him.
