When indeed you have ventured upon all this Reproach of this Gentleman, whom you by Way of Mockery call a Person of Distinction, wholly upon a mere Guess of your own, that he did go to Connecticut before Mr. B—, and that he might probably do something there that he might be ashamed of; when indeed he did not go to Connecticut before Mr. Breck, he never went out of Town that Night, but lodged at Mr. Williams's of Long-Meadow: so many Things have you asserted and insinuated that are contrary to Fact, in this one Page!
