Chester August 2° 1697

|Ever| Honoured Sr

Our Adversary Clark went on Saturday afternoon for London with a resolution to loade the Warden and my self, with all the Calumnys he can: You see what weapons they fight with, and stick at nothing to compass their ends: he has taken Bowles along with him and Brown, who are I suppose to serve him on all occasions, as fr as their oaths will go. If need be, I begg you would interpose your protection, till we can be informed of any sort of accusation, and that we may be heard {illeg}|be|fore we are in any case judged. I hope your potent friend Mr Montague will not forgett me if their should be occasion, but as I am conscious to my self of no transgression, so I doubt not but to acqui{re}|tt| my self of any imputation their malice can invent. Mr Clark being gone, we begin to pay again, there having been but 3 days intermission.

I am

Honoured sr

Your most faithfull servt.
