Strana 312 - He appeared very ambitious to learn to write ; and one of the attornies got a board knocked up at a window on the top of a staircase ; and that was his desk, where he sat and wrote after copies of court and other hands the clerks gave him. He made himself so expert a writer that he took in business, and earned some pence by hackney-writing.

Strana 35 - Majesty that penal statutes, in matters ecclesiastical, cannot be suspended but by act of Parliament.
Strana 315 - Causes at his House, the Company have waited five hours in a Morning, and, after Eleven, he hath come out inflamed, and staring like one distracted.

Strana 315 - He seemed to lay nothing of his business to heart, nor care what he did, or left undone ; and spent, in the Chancery Court, what time he thought fit to spare. Many times, on days of causes at his house, the company have waited five hours in a morning ; and, after eleven, he hath come out inflamed, and staring like one distracted. And that visage he put on, when he animadverted on such as...
Strana 314 - When he was in temper and matters indifferent came before him, he became his seat of justice better than any other I ever saw in his place. He took a pleasure in mortifying fraudulent attorneys, and would deal forth his severities with a sort of majesty.
Strana 223 - He said there was a signal providence of God in giving him such a wife, where there was birth, fortune, great understanding, great religion, and great kindness to him ; but her carriage in this extremity was beyond all.
