Whereas it has been maliciously, scandalously, and invidiously represented, with a View to injure me in my Election, and the good opinion of his Majesty's Loyal Subjects, that, in Order to secure the Whole of my Brothers Fortune, I contracted Matrimony with his Wife, and that he had children by the said Woman. In justice to my Character which has suffered by so vile an Aspersion, I do now solemnly protest, in presence of Belzebub, Prince of Hell, and Major Gallipot, my Beloved Associate, that the charge is False. Groundless, and Calculated for the worst of Purposes, and that the following is the Naked Truth, and nothing but the Truth, so help me Hood.

Iscariot, Judas, active 18th century.
