Chapter CCLXXI: Letter DCCLXVII: To the Bishop of W――――

_Bristol, Aug. 7, 1749._

_My Lord_,

THE occasion of my troubling your Lordship in this manner, is as follows. I have, more then once, been very credibly informed, that your Lordship has been pleased to charge me, at the public Wells, with being guilty of _Perjury_. This comes, therefore, to beg the favour of your Lordship, only to let me know, (in whatever manner your Lordship shall judge most proper) upon what foundation such a charge is built: and I hereby promise, by divine assistance, that a full, fair, and explicit answer shall be given to your Lordship, by, my Lord,

Your Lordship’s dutiful son and servant,
_G. W._
