It seems if not layd aside yet am I but coldly countenanced '. To save the time of the King's almoner he enumerates a few places he would content himself with on account, including ' the ancient Office of the Ballast '.

' 'Tis a Bill of Indemnity for the King's enemies ', they cried in their wrath, ' and Oblivion for his friends '.
