A56364	The vintners answer to some scandalous phamphlets [sic] published as is supposed by Richard Kilvert and abetted in some points by his brother Roger and Alderman Abel wherein the vintners vindicate their owne reputations to the world for satisfaction of all such as know not the said Kilvert wretched and lewed conversation : or have credited his foule impudent defamations suggested against them.

the_o next_o place_n also_o in_o the_o quality_n of_o wine_n the_o vintner_n be_v further_o damnify_v by_o this_o medium_fw-la contract_n for_o no_o vendible_a merchantable_a wine_n may_v be_v
