Insure against an echo
This puzzles me. The context:
"For you have slandered that which is most perfect in the world; yet lies, Messire de Montors, have short legs; and I design within the hour to insure the calumny against an echo."
What does the last clause mean?

I think he means "to make sure the slander isn't repeated." A rather strange way to say it, if I'm right.
