more re–

more

than any oth r
reproaching

often charging him to be

D on

had reafon
to
be rernifs in

upplies, and that it could not
be
expeCl:ed that he fhould be

yet
being a Gentleman, and ofa generous oul,
he
more
efieemed
of

than
of

defired

that
they were well affured, that without the
Alftftence and
