2. Ibid., t. I, p. 150. — Ed. Ballant., I, 44 : « Well, sir,... since it seems your greatness wants to be justified by my lowness,... I will say, on my bended knees (and so I kneeled down) that I hâve been a very faulty and very ungrateful créature lo the best of masters; I hâve been very perverse and saucy ; and hâve deserved nothing àt your hands but to be turned eut of your familv with shame and disgrâce ».
