Examples

“There are to this day fellow-commoners at Queens, and surely such a distinguished commoner as Fuller would have⟳ been allowed to remain⟳ on that foundation, in which he had spent seven years, in this new capacity. The expense would have⟳ been about the same, and the only way in which I can account for his migration is either pique at being passed over, or the friendship of so famed a theologian as Dr. Ward.”
