can be made to the never sufficient ever insufficient provision made it to secure
an honourable retreat to persons ... who have sacrificed
lucrative situations on engaging in the Public Service.‡ ‡

Public Service of which so high a consideration is entertained that it is
regarded as a fundamental part of the constitution of every country,
and of the reason of state
in this country, that there
must be means of rewarding
it.
