a displeasure against the same person and manifest it by
actions of another kind. If these such positive ill offices
as display themselves in actions at large be excluded,

height. It admits of no evasion: it comes upon
a man from all quarters: he can see no end to its duration,
nor limits to its effects. It is not unusual for it
to bereave him of the chief pleasures and sources of profit
he has set his heart upon: it may deprive him of all those
profits and enjoyments he had been accustomed to expect† † at the hand of his friend or
his patron: by sitting his
common acquaintance at a
distance from him it may
fill the detail of his life with
a perpetual train of disappointments
& rebuffs. It
leaves him joyless & forlorn
& by drying up the source
of every felicity it embitters
the whole current of his life.
