To take for example the case of the Messenger of
the Great Seal, as stated in and by article 49.

When in a line with this Official title we see a man
sees under the head of £, the figures 994 an of the
nature of the envy will be apt if not to find its way
into his bosom, at any rate to knock pretty hard at the
door of it.

But when in the very next line while occupied
in considering of the comfortable provision situation to enjoyed, next
and enjoyed by this official person whoever he may be
(for that is a discovery we shall not make not to be made so easily) we
learn that he has been executed, the self regarding a man's breast must be
strongly constituted of every such harsh and selfish passion as
envy dare not give way to one of a softer and more
kind.

Of this ill-fated gentleman be he who he may the situation
must be acknowledged to be extraordinary and in no inconsiderable degree not a little irregular.
If hanging, in this our country the most usual mode
of execution, were in this case the mode actually exemplified
half hanging or that of a man half-hanged
is the situation in which this gentleman would be
to be found.

For executed as he is, that it is wholly and exclusively in
his own proper person that he is subjected to this hard
fate is what we are not suffered to suppose. What
If in part so hard a fate falls upon himself it is only
in part, since forasmuch as he finds a deputy to share in it: and
the gentleman by whose kindness if willing, or at whose
if unwilling, this part is acted performed is a Mr G. Stainforth.
