In ordinary what unlearned discourse length of sentences — [distance between nominative
case and verb] has its length limit: in learned discourse
( meaning always under matchless constitution)

a whole length of it] not fewer than four of these small-typed and
close-written pages: all this while panting almost t over
the unhappy substantive looking with unscripted longing

beloved speech-fellow. No man who either at Westminster
or St Paul's has been whipt through either of the pretient

the night which first consigned them to the same place
of rue and rapture.

than innovation: and, so long as malignation is kept down, sensibility
is the less grated upon and wounded
