Examples

“It is therefore the shallowest sophistry to contend, that because this quality is personified, or used in a compellatory form⟳, it is therefore used as an honorary title. And as, in the same age, the existence of honorary titles is without example or proof, and the form⟳ of compellation by characteristic qualities thus generally prevalent; it is palpably to oppose⟳ every sound⟳ principle of logic, to dispute, that the contested term is not used as a quality, but employed as a title.”
