But despite Ryves' claim to truth-telling, a closer reading of his text reveals something of the deliberate fashioning in its production. Colchester's rulers were identi®ed by their occupations ± John Langley, `Grocer and Captaine of the Train Band', Henry Barrington, `Brewer and Alderman' ± in an appeal to the shared contempt of his gentle readers.
