ESSAY XCV.
THE Multitude grew burthen∣som
through the vast num∣ber
of Senators and Knights that
throng'd out of the City to meet
him, some through Fear, many out
of Adulation, the rest, and all by
degrees, lest others going, they should
remain behind.
descriptionPage 209
Add to this (says D'Ablancourt) the nu∣merous
Train of the Court, always Proud and
Insolent ev'n under the best of Princes, all the
Senators and Knights, went out to meet him,
some in Honour to his Person, others out of
Flattery, or for Fear, and all at length, that
they might not be seen to remain alone behind.
The Fourth Article may serve as a suf∣ficient
Commentary for this, to which I
refer the Reader, to avoid Repetition.
