Inessentialia?

Quere

forcing himself once more upon a Master, whose patience
he had worn out by so many years of hereditary
and inbred insolence, an adherent, whom he had
thus bought in secret should, with the colours of independence
flying upon his stand up and
move thanks to him for services which a man
chosen by lot into his place would have rendered
as well as he?

In speaking of a sacrifice of this sort as
but a sort of transaction but too natural, I
speak of the simple sacrifice. The filth turpitude
with which Your Lordship has seen it accompanied,
