See in v. CARTEL, from B. Jonson. See also Gifford's Note thereon, and his Massinger, iii. 9. Dependent and Dependant are used indiscriminately; ent from ens is the right.

M. de la Tour du Pin, on the fourth of last June, comes to give an account of the state of his department, as it exists under the auspices of the national assembly. Burke. On the French Revolution.

The game played by the revolutionists in 1789, with respect to the French guards of the unhappy king, was now played against the departmental guards, called together for the protection of the revolutionists.

Id. Preface to M. Brissot's Address to his Constituents. This is a picture drawn from life: what it represents often occurs: and the whole of it is occasioned by the merchant's departure from his natural and his most becoming character. Knox. Ess. No. 8.

DEPA'STURE, v.
de, and pascere, to feed.
To feed upon, to eat,
Earth, like the patient was, whose liuely blood
Hath ouercome at last some sicknesse strong,
Whose feeble limmes had been the bait and food,
Whereon his strange disease depastred long,
But now restor'd, in health and welfare stood
As sound as earst, as fresh, as faire, as young.

Lat. Depascere, astum;
Gr. Πα-ειν.

And thus, if a horse be delivered either to an agisting farmer for the purpose of depasturing in his meadows, or to an hostler to be dressed and fed in his stable, the bailees are answerable for the loss of the horse, if it be occasioned by the ordinary neglect of themselves or their servants.

Sir W. Jones. The Law of Bailments. DEPATRIATE, v. Lat. De, and patria, his

country.

To go or cause to go from, to quit his country.

And go, for reasons weak or weighty
To Zeeland-new, or Otaheite.

Mason. The Dean and the Squire.
DEPAUPERATE, v.

The Frenchemen in their treatie demaunded to haue Calays beaten downe, and to haue the sygnorie of Guysues Hammes, Marke, and Oye, and all the landes of Froyteu, and the dependantes of Guysnes vnto the lymyttes of the water of Grauelyng.-Berners. Froiss. Cron. vol. i. c. 177.

And we would the aske him such questions further either of holdinge of God's hande over them, or withdrawing hys hande of help from them, with other diuerse dependauntes therupon, which eurie learned manne may soone fynd oute himself & almost vnlearned to.-Sir T. More. Workes, p.594.

Consider nowe that of hys electes, whiche is of hys woordes muche adoe to perceiue, they be so dark and so intriked of purpose withoute any dependence or order, yet in the ende when all is gathered together and aduysed well, thys is the whole summe, that God chooseth a certayne whom he lyketh.

Sanctify him in his authority and sovereignty, by calling upon him in obedience to his command and will, who hath commanded it, by acknowledgment of thy dependence upon him.-Bp. Hall. Cont. On the Lord's Prayer.

When here he adds,-and we by him; this imports their

Lat. Depauperare, being a chosen generation, a peculiar people to God, the chosen of God out of all things else: and his being a peculiar special founder unto them of a super creation-state, and a dependancy upon him for the whole of it, as he is Jesus Christ the Lord.-Goodwin. Works, vol. ii. pt. ii. p. 169.

And because the residence of this blessed poverty is the mind, it followes that it be here understood, that all that examination and renunciation, abjection and humility of mind, which depauperates the spirit, making it less worldly, and more spiritual, is the duty here enjoyned.

If we make a farther advance and progression into the reason of philosophy, it will leade the mind up to religion, n it shows the congruous dependency and subordination of all causes of divine providence.

The absolute stoical depender on fate may starve for want of industry, die for want of physick, and be damned for want of repentance.-Hammond. Works, vol. i. p. 87.

Delay is bad, doubt worse, depending worst;
Each best day of our life escapes us first.

If thou givest me this day supplies beyond the expense of this day, I will use it thankfully, and nevertheless dependingly; for I will renew my petition for my daily bread still. Hale. Cont. vol. ii. On the Lord's Prayer.

As heaven with stars, the roof with jewels glows,
And ever living lamps depend in rows.

Then, since those forms begin, and have their end,
On some unalter'd cause they sure depend:
Parts of the whole are we; but God the whole;
Who gave us life and animating soul.

Dryden. Palamon & Arcite.
That desire was to fix and preserve a few lasting depend-

Wou'd twice support the scorn and proud disdain
With which those idols you adore, the great,
Their wretched vassals and dependants treat?
Fryden. Juvenal, Sat. 5.

Dark as a cloud they make a wheeling flight, Then on a neighbouring tree, descending, light; Like a large cluster of black grapes they show, And make a large dependance from the bough. Id. Virgil, Geor. 4. Well, but to this it is objected, that these witnesses we speak of, were all of them Christ's friends, and followers and dependents. Sharp, vol. ii. Ser. 8.

His followers afterward so understood and explained it, as if, by the creation of the world, was not to be understood a creation in time; but only an order of nature. Causality and dependence: that is, that the will of God, and his power of acting, being necessarily as eternal as his essence, the effects of that will and power might be supposed coeval to the will and power themselves. Clarke. On the Attributes, Prop. 3.

It is also natural and can hardly be otherwise, but that the bishop of a chief city, finding himself to exceed in. wealth, in power, in advantages of friendships, dependencies,

&c. should not affect to raise himself above the level: it is
an ambition, that easily will seize on the most moderate,
and otherwise religious minds.
Barrow. Of the Pope's Supremacy.

Yet, though I always have my will,
I'm but a mere depender still;

Scorn'd by his subjects, trampled by his foes,
No feeble tyrant of a petty state,
Courts thee to shake on a dependant throne.

Johnson. Irene, Act ii. sc. 2.

It is precisely the same, whether the ministers of the crown can disqualify by a dependent house of commons, or by a dependent court of star chamber, or by a dependent court of king's bench.—Burke. Of the Present Discontents.

We behold (and it seems some people rejoice in beholding) our native land, which used to sit the envied arbiter of all her neighbours, reduced to a servile dependance on their mercy. Id. Letter to the Sheriffs of Bristol.

For if they once quit this natural, rational, and liberal obedience, having deserted the only proper foundation of their power, they must seek a support in an abject and unnatural dependence somewhere else.

Id. Of the Present Discontents.

Wine, and even water has been, not only by Helmont, but by divers other physicians, observed to be enriched, [with wormes] after a quantity of quicksilver has been for some hours shaken in it, though without any sensible deperdition of the substance of the mercury.

Boyle. Works, pt. ii. Ess. 5. The most deperditely wicked of all others, in whom was the root of wickedness.-Dean King. Sermon, (1608,) p. 17.

No reason can be given why, if these deperdits ever existed, they have now disappeared. Yet if all possible existences have been tried, they must have formed part of the catalogue.-Paley. Natural Theology, c. 5.

DEPERTIBLE, adj. In some editions this word is written Depectible.

Bacon appears to mean-that may be distributed, or spread.

It may be also, that some bodies have a kinde of lentour, and more depertible nature than others, as we see it evident in colouration.-Bacon. Naturall History, § 857.

Gr. Φλεγμα, from Φλεγ to burn. Vossius thinks; not so called because it is per se igneum,

but because-per accidens causet febres. For," he adds, "a sharp and salt phlegm is the fountain of all such diseases as are produced by a defluxion of humours; as Plato says in Timaus." See PHLEGM.

To clear or purify from phlegm,-in chymistry,to free from pituitous, aqueous or watery parts. We found that the oil that was wont to swim upon spirit of wine, not freed from its aqueous parts, did readily sink, and quietly lie in the bottom of that, which was carefully dephlegmed.-Boyle. Works, vol. i. p. 349.

Our favourable thoughts of that expert chymist making us think it possible, that the spirits we employed had not been sufficiently exalted, we dephlegmated some by more frequent, and indeed tedious rectifications. Id. Ib. vol. i. p. 329.

And let me on this occasion advertise you, Pyrophilus, that in divers cases it is not enough to separate the aqueous parts by dephlegmation, as many chemists content themselves to do.-Id. Ib. vol. i. p. 321.

Fifthly, that the proportion betwixt the coralline solution and the spirit of wine depends so much upon the strength of the former liquor, and the dephlegmedness of the latter, that it is scarce possible to determine generally and exactly, what quantity of each ought to be taken.-Id. Ib. vol. i. p. 442.

DEPICT, v.? Lat. Depingere, depictum, Depicture, v. to depaint, (qv.)

To imitate the likeness of any thing; to draw, portray, describe or delineate.

Wherein is the malice? in adding to the narration, pictures (sc. the prints in Fox's Martyrs,) also of the fact, so to moue hatred to Monkes, and their religion, whereas of truth, either Monkes, or men of that religion, were the very first, who not onely so depictured, but also liuely and richly depainted it in their goodliest manuscripts.

Speed. King John, b. ix. c. 8. s. 62. Why the man has a perception of sound which the drum has not, or an idea of figure depicted on the choroides or retina of the eye, (whichever of them be the seat of vision,) which the camera has not; in other words, how perception is excited from material impulse, must ever, I think, exceed the apprehension of human intellect.

Anecdotes of the Life of Bp. Watson, vol. ii. p. 401.

This animal [the Salamander] is a kind of lizard, a quadruped corticated and depilous, that is, without wool, fur, or hair.-Brown. Vulgar Errours, b. iii. c. 14.

I shall demand how they [dogs] of some countryes became depilous, and without any hair at all, whereas some sorts in excess abound therewith.-Id. Ib. b. vi. c. 10.

DEPLICATION. Lat. De, and plicare, Gr. ПAEK-E, to knit, twist, fold. "Fr. Déplicer,—to unplait or unfold, to undo the plaits, to open the folds of," (Cotgrave.)

Unplaiting, unfolding, untwisting.

For which effect there needeth onely an unfolding and deplication of the inside of this order, to shew it is not so asperous and thorny as our nature apprehendeth it by the first glances that light upon it.

The same day [the two and twentieth day of January, 1596] Sir Francis Drake our general departed this life, whose death was exceedingly deplored; his interment was after this manner; his corps being laid in a cophin of lead, he was let down into the sea, the trumpets in dolefull manner echoing out this lamentation for so great a losse, and all the cannons of the fleet were discharged according to the custome of all sea funerall obsequies.

Sir Francis Drake. West Indian Voyage, p. 58.

He who against thee does inveigh,
Never yet knew where beauty lay,
And does betray

A deplorable want of sense,
Blindness, or age, or impotence.

Cotton. Pindaric Ode. Beauty. To discern the sadness, and deplorableness of this estate, I shall need give you no sharper character of it, than only this, that 'tis a condition that forceth God to forsake us in meer mercy, to give over all thoughts of kindness to us, and that the only degree of kindness left, whereof we are capable. Hammond. Works, vol. iv. p. 536.
