He was well natured, obliging to every body, and never backward in ferving a friend. He fmifhed his education abroad, under the conducl of a very worthy tutor: and brought home with him a greater variety of j uft obfervations on men, and things, than moft young men are able to colleft. To his other efccompli foments he added the fplendor of military glory; having ferved twice with the Earl of Sandwich, as a volunteer in the Dutch war, with great reputation. And what ( "5 ), , what gave a polifh... to all his accom- plifliments and good qualities, was the unaffuming modefty of his behaviour. He himfelf was the only perfon who appeared unconfcious of the fuperi- ority of his parts and knowledge. Thus qualified, he was fatally in- troduced to the licentious court of Charles the fecond, who made him one of the gentlemen of his bedcham- ber, and ranger of Woodliock park. The life of a courtier gave a new turn to his ideas. He became the idol of all the gay, the profligate, and unprin- cipled young people, with whom that court abounded.
