given them offence ; tie firil time he was anononecti
in the bills he had millaken one day for another ; and
wish refpefl to the fecund. he .:ould fay nothing,
that he hoped for induig-nce." His friends warmly
applauded this marsh, and he Was illfrerCj toga on,
which It: did with his sane! excellence.
