In the mean time, the practice gains ground ; the Court of King's Bench becomes a court of equity ; and the Judge, instead...
עמוד xxxi - all national reflections : the King's subjects were one people ; whoever divided them was guilty of sedition. His Majesty's complaint was well-founded ; it was just ; it was necessary. The author did not deserve to be ranked among the human species ; he was the blasphemer of his God, and the libeller of his King.
עמוד xxvii - This cardinal, Though from an humble stock, undoubtedly Was fashion'd to much honour. From his cradle He was a scholar, and a ripe and good one ; Exceeding wise, fair spoken, and persuading : Lofty and sour to them that loved him not ; But, to those men that sought him, sweet as summer...
