A28254	A modest check to part of a scandalous libel intituled the case of Col. Kyrle, Capt. Pury Iunior and Captain Phillips concerning Wood &c. wherein the false and unworthy aspertions cast upon the gentlemen of Bristoll and some others, late commissioners for the enquiring into and preventing the wasts of the forrest of Deane are wiped off, their integrity vindicated and other things occasionally touched at / by George Bishope.
