His politeness was remarkable, and he

"'Tis the custom Of this place" replied
the Monarch, in his usual strain Of pleasan-
try, THAT never above one person should
be covered at time"
He was altogether in favor fextcmporc

the delivery Of written sermon. Patrick
excused himself from chaplaincy, "fn-

Stillingheet answered something about
the awe of SO noble a congregation, the
presence of so great and wise a prince
