Examples

“He is like⟳ a revolter in an army; and as men of honour and commanders seldom prove⟳ such, but common soldiers, men of mean⟳ condition, frequently to mend⟳ their fortunes, so in religion clergymen who are commanders seldom prevail upon one another, and when they do, the proselyte is usually one who had no reputation among his own⟳ party before, and after a little trial finds as little among those to whom he revolts.”

“When I came to the word Renegado, after telling that it meant "one who deserts to the enemy, a revolter," I added, Sometimes we say⟳ a GOWER. Thus it went to the press⟳; but the printer had more wit than I, and struck it out.'”
