much that he is too mild hammered, and that his good
nature may sometimes subject him to be imposed upon
by willy diplomats. In short, that he does not
attach sufficient dignity to his position The latter fault

from every eye THAT an't od) An eloquent address

able and earnest preacher of the Gospel when talking
