a_o vindication_n of_o my_o lord_n windsor_n late_o proceed_n with_o mr._n john_n griffith_z occasion_v by_o his_o vain_a aspersion_n and_o undertake_v by_o a_o unknown_a servant_n of_o his_o

as_o my_o lord_n windsor_n be_v to_o most_o of_o the_o english_a gentry_n especial_o since_o my_o lord_n himself_o be_v so_o much_o ashamed_a to_o have_v any_o more_o to_o do_v with_o his_o unworthy_a detractor_n that_o i_o have_v often_o hear_v he_o say_v he_o will_v rather_o cast_v himself_o upon_o the_o hazard_n of_o censure_n among_o those_o who_o be_v stranger_n to_o his_o person_n and_o proceed_n then_o blemish_v his_o discretion_n by_o continue_v to_o answer_v that_o impudent_a man_n in_o his_o folly_n yet_o since_o mr._n griffith_n have_v so_o late_o proceed_v to_o the_o high_a

merit_n thus_o far_o to_o publish_v his_o defence_n by_o give_v a_o true_a narrative_n of_o the_o occasion_n and_o ground_n of_o the_o quarrel_n the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o fight_n and_o the_o subsequent_a proceed_n of_o both_o party_n it_o be_v scarce_o unknown_a to_o any_o how_o mr._n griffith_n make_v violent_a assault_n upon_o the_o unspotted_a chastity_n of_o the_o lady_n calve_o in_o her_o husband_n time_n in_o pursuance_n whereof_o not_o to_o reckon_v up_o his_o frantic_a address_n he_o kill_v one_o of_o her_o servant_n for_o which_o he_o flee_v the_o land_n and_o find_v his_o

soon_o convert_v into_o the_o depth_n of_o malice_n and_o lest_o her_o chastity_n shall_v triumph_v over_o his_o bruitishness_n he_o begin_v to_o publish_v doubtful_a discourse_n tend_v to_o the_o undermine_a and_o blast_v of_o her_o reputation_n it_o fortune_v that_o the_o lady_n soon_o after_o become_v a_o widow_n and_o mr._n griffith_n then_o conceive_v new_a hope_n of_o enjoy_v she_o in_o a_o lawful_a way_n of_o marriage_n which_o make_v he_o although_o absent_a employ_v watchful_a eye_n over_o she_o my_o lord_n windsor_n upon_o the_o common_a stock_n of_o civility_n to_o all_o lady_n

that_o if_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n do_v not_o speak_v she_o to_o be_v a_o woman_n of_o a_o untainted_a repute_n he_o shall_v not_o need_v mr._n griffiths_n advice_n to_o desist_v and_o that_o since_o

that_o he_o have_v send_v a_o servant_n to_o know_v the_o time_n of_o his_o lordship_n come_v over_o and_o like_o dametas_n conclude_v thus_o my_o lord_n when_o you_o do_v understand_v all_o thing_n true_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o you_o will_v judge_v that_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o do_v what_o i_o do_v on_o the_o 24_o of_o the_o same_o month_n he_o write_v a_o large_a letter_n full_a of_o the_o
