they take care to live more regularly, or to labour more carefully. They
looked on the soldiery as their patrons; they were ever in their
company, complying with them in their excesses; and, if they were not
much wronged, they rather led them into them than checked them for
them."--"History of My Own Time," i. 334.

of the letter than the reference to the page.
