and_o go_v every_o one_o of_o we_o home_o to_o our_o particular_a dwelling_n think_v that_o no_o exception_n can_v be_v take_v at_o my_o be_v there_o have_v so_o much_o company_n with_o i_o but_o it_o seem_v within_o a_o day_n or_o two_o after_o this_o richard_n maddock_n be_v drink_v as_o it_o be_v his_o constant_a custom_n come_v and_o upbraid_v the_o maid_n say_v thus_o to_o they_o it_o be_v

and_o myself_o and_o at_o dod_n return_v back_o to_o sir_n hugh_n into_o lancashire_n he_o happen_v to_o frame_v his_o story_n so_o well_o for_o his_o own_o advantage_n and_o my_o prejudice_n that_o i_o have_v some_o hamper_n of_o clothes_n at_o sir_n hugh_n house_n i_o be_v desire_v to_o send_v for_o they_o home_o and_o this_o maddock_n have_v order_n to_o turn_v away_o the_o maid_n with_o this_o expression_n that_o sir_n hugh_n scorn_v to_o keep_v maid_n that_o shall_v keep_v open_a house_n and_o a_o bawdy_a house_n for_o i_o this_o be_v the_o first_o palpable_a business_n wherein_o i_o discover_v both_o their_o hatred_n to_o i_o though_o have_v give_v occasion_n thereof_o to_o neither_o of_o they_o more_o then_o that_o i_o do_v persuade_v sir_n hugh_n caulveley_n once_o to_o turn_v away_o dod_n which_o i_o believe_v he_o hear_v of_o and_o not_o out_o of_o any_o other_o malice_n to_o he_o more_o than_o that_o he_o be_v a_o papist_n and_o that_o i_o be_v loath_a that_o sir_n hugh_n caulveley_n be_v my_o friend_n as_o i_o think_v then_o shall_v suffer_v for_o entertain_v so_o notorious_a a_o papist_n as_o he_o be_v know_v to_o be_v it_o be_v report_v by_o some_o that_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n this_o be_v the_o only_a exception_n dod_n can_v take_v against_o i_o until_o i_o find_v out_o his_o roguery_n of_o endeavour_v to_o set_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o sir_n hugh_n and_o myself_o have_v no_o just_a ground_n for_o to_o do_v it_o more_o than_o what_o his_o spleen_n and_o malice_n can_v invent_v and_o indeed_o find_v dod_n and_o maddock_n whole_o bend_v to_o make_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o endeavour_v what_o i_o can_v to_o cross_v their_o intention_n and_o to_o preserve_v that_o friendship_n which_o former_o have_v be_v betwixt_o sir_n hugh_n caulveley_n and_o myself_o and_o to_o that_o intent_n i_o hear_v that_o sir_n hugh_n be_v come_v out_o of_o lancashire_n to_o his_o sister_n house_n call_v line_n in_o cheshire_n i_o go_v purposely_o to_o wait_v on_o he_o with_o a_o intent_n to_o inform_v he_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o business_n and_o come_v to_o salute_v he_o i_o perceive_v he_o something_o cool_a in_o his_o expression_n of_o kindness_n unto_o i_o then_o former_o he_o have_v be_v whereupon_o i_o tell_v he_o sir_n i_o understand_v that_o dod_n and_o maddock_n have_v abuse_v we_o both_o by_o inform_v you_o of_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v as_o false_a as_o god_n be_v true_a therefore_o i_o shall_v desire_v you_o to_o send_v for_o maddock_n for_o i_o hear_v that_o he_o be_v in_o this_o house_n and_o i_o shall_v prove_v he_o a_o rogue_n to_o his_o face_n maddock_n be_v instant_o call_v up_o into_o a_o gallery_n and_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o sir_n hugh_n caulveley_n his_o lady_n and_o his_o sister_n mistress_n lee_n i_o tell_v maddock_n that_o i_o wonder_v extreme_o at_o his_o baseness_n have_v nothing_o to_o do●_n but_o to_o invent_v lie_n for_o to_o set_v friend_n together_o by_o the_o ear_n he_o deny_v that_o he_o have_v do_v it_o although_o i_o know_v the_o country_n whereupon_o i_o tell_v he_o i_o warrant_v you_o will_v deny_v that_o you_o say_v when_o you_o be_v drink_v that_o you_o care_v not_o six_o penny_n for_o your_o master_n sir_n hugh_n caulveleyes_n service_n and_o that_o you_o never_o get_v anything_o by_o he_o maddock_n do_v not_o only_o deny_v it_o but_o withal_o reply_v that_o what_o i_o say_v be_v false_a i_o make_v he_o no_o answer_n but_o with_o my_o cane_n i_o lay_v he_o over_o the_o coxcomb_n and_o so_o part_v with_o he_o at_o that_o time_n and_o present_o i_o go_v out_o of_o mistress_n lees_n house_n to_o a_o lodging_n that_o i_o have_v within_o a_o mile_n and_o a_o half_a of_o that_o place_n and_o the_o next_o day_n i_o go_v towards_o my_o own_o house_n near_o chester_n but_o by_o the_o way_n as_o i_o go_v home_o i_o call_v at_o a_o town_n call_v sayton_n where_o most_o if_o not_o all_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o that_o town_n be_v sir_n hugh_n caulveleys_n tenant_n i_o send_v for_o divers_a of_o they_o which_o i_o have_v former_o see_v in_o maddok_n his_o company_n and_o i_o ask_v they_o whether_o they_o never_o hear_v maddok_n rail_v at_o his_o master_n sir_n hugh_n caulveley_n they_o make_v answer_v he_o be_v never_o drink_v but_o he_o do●h_v so_o and_o then_o man_n most_o common_o speak_v truth_n and_o i_o wonder_v say_v they_o that_o sir_n hugh_n will_v keep_v he_o for_o maddock_n constant_o say_v he_o care_v not_o six_o penny_n for_o his_o service_n and_o that_o he_o never_o get_v anything_o under_o he_o i_o make_v answer_v to_o they_o honest_a friend_n will_v you_o justify_v this_o under_o your_o hand_n yes_o say_v they_o and_o upon_o our_o oath_n too_o whereupon_o i_o draw_v a_o note_n to_o that_o effect_n and_o give_v it_o they_o to_o subscribe_v which_o they_o do_v willing_o and_o as_o soon_o as_o i_o get_v the_o note_n sign_v i_o present_o send_v it_o to_o sir_n hugh_n and_o

justify_v he_o to_o be_v a_o lie_a knave_n you_o will_v do_v yourself_o and_o i_o so_o much_o right_a as_o to_o turn_v he_o out_o of_o your_o service_n and_o in_o do_v so_o you_o will_v engage_v i_o to_o continue_v your_o oblige_a friend_n and_o faithful_a servant_n john_n griffith_z sir_n hugh_n caulveley_n send_v i_o this_o answer_n or_o much_o to_o this_o purpose_n sir_n i_o wonder_v you_o
