THough Guido Vaux walked for a long space with his darke lanthorne undiscovered , yet in the end , time faire and faithfull hand-maide brought to light his Treasons and Hypocrisies .

And although projectors Snaile-like creepe into their shell of obscurity , yet the Justice of these times will shew them in their owne net they have danced in , and cause them to carry upon their projecting backs their crimes and faults that they unjustly endeavour to father upon others .

It was most apparant to the world , that Alderman Abell had long since a designe to raise an Imposition of 40. shillings per Tonne upon all Wines that should be imported into this Kingdome to be sold ; and to get the said Imposition granted unto him at a Farme of 30000. pounds per annum , not having any regard to the great burthen it would bring upon the Common wealth , but ayming at his owne particular profit and gaine , and to bring his owne end to passe , and the better to effect and accomplish his project , he combined with one Richard Kilvert ; and to enable him for his purpose , the said Alderman Abell being at that time Master of the Company of Vintners , admitted the said Richard Kilvert to be a brother of that mystery and society .

That thereupon the said Alderman Abell , and the said Master Kilvert did in a private Taverne conceive and frame a Petition to his Majestie in the name of the Retayling Vintners of London , and preferred the said Petition ; whereas in truth , the Retaylors were not at all privy to the drawing or preferring of the same .

That thereupon Alderman Abell , and Master Kilvert procured the Imposition to be layd , and the same was granted to Alderman Abell ( and to such as he pleased to take in ) at 30000. pounds per Annum , whereas if the Imposition were received , it would amount to a farre greater summe .

That for the support and maintenance of the designe , Richard Kilvert had a gratuity of 1000. pounds , and 500. pou per annum out of the Farme , and Alderman Abell 500. pounds per annum out of the increase , besides his share in the profit of the Farme .

That the said Alderman Abell for the better obtaining of his owne ends , procured divers of the retayling Vintners to be imprisoned , and their goods to be seised for the raising and advancing of his unlawfull Wine project .

That divers of the retayling Vintners did preferre a Petition to the Parliament against the said Alderman Abell and Richard Kilvert , discovering their deceits to his Majesty , their exactions upon the Subject , and their oppressing of the said Petitioners .

That thereupon the said deceits , exactions and oppressions were proved , and Alderman Abell and Richard Kilvert voted for the projectors of the said Wine project , both in the creation and execution thereof by the Honourable Assembly of the Commons in the House of Parliament .

That now to cast an aspersion upon those that discovered and detected their deceits and oppressions , they have printed a Petition which they framed for their owne ends , and preferred to his Majesty in the name of the Retayling Vintners , without the direction , consent , or privity of the generality of Retayling Vintners .

That the Alderman and his partners gained by their Wine project in one yeare , all Charges and Expences discharged , and cleared , the summe of 25146. pounds , eighteene shillings , and nine pence . This as appeareth by his owne Leidger-Booke , Fol 295. Anno Dom . 1638.

Printed in the yeare , 1641.
