which_o have_v be_v involve_v in_o the_o common_a fate_n of_o his_o party_n and_o it_o be_v so_o natural_a for_o all_o man_n to_o overvalue_v their_o own_o merit_n that_o they_o think_v themselves_o very_o much_o injure_v if_o they_o be_v not_o admit_v to_o equal_a share_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o fellow_n servant_n though_o far_o more_o eminent_a for_o their_o service_n past_a and_o better_o fit_v for_o present_a employment_n so_o that_o neither_o his_o majesty_n insuperable_a necessity_n nor_o the_o disparity_n of_o their_o desert_n can_v hinder_v these_o presumptuous_a person_n from_o murmur_v at_o his_o minister_n whilst_o they_o be_v abroad_o and_o blast_v of_o his_o personal_a virtue_n when_o they_o return_v home_o and_o many_o of_o these_o unworthy_a man_n have_v be_v

not_z frizzle_a but_o so_o natural_o curl_v into_o great_a ring_n that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a comely_a ornament_n his_o motion_n be_v so_o easy_a and_o graceful_a that_o they_o do_v very_o much_o recommend_v his_o person_n when_o he_o either_o walk_n dance_n play_v at_o pal_z maille_n at_o tennis_n or_o ride_v the_o great_a horse_n which_o be_v his_o usual_a exercise_n in_o sum_n his_o meene_z do_v denote_v his_o quality_n and_o wheresoever_o he_o appear_v he_o easy_o obtain_v the_o respect_n and_o affection_n of_o all_o that_o approach_v he_o to_o the_o gracefulness_n of_o his_o
