There were at the time aforesaid three ships absolutely determined to goe for the West Indies, at the speciall charges of M. Iohn Wattes of London Marchant.
Russelton received them with his usual coldness, but more than his usual civility, for he followed me to the door. Just as they were about to shut it, he called me back. "Mr. Pelham," said he, "Mr. An old worshipful gentleman, that had a great estate, And kept a brave old house at a hospitable rate. Old Song.
There was no vice in the creature, but there was mighty little sense. He lived in awe of the great and rich, and a nod from a big planter would make him happy for a week. He used to deafen me with tales of Colonel Randolph, and worshipful Mr. Carew, and Colonel Byrd's new house at Westover, and the rare fashion in cravats that young Mr. Mason showed at the last Surrey horse-racing.
The compassion of his love for her, as she saw it, made her lift up her heart to him in devotion. He would sometimes catch her large, worshipful eyes, that had no bottom to them looking at him from their depths, as if she saw something immortal before her.

Am I not worshipful to you?
But the right worshipful heroine of Romance was the front-face female picture he had won for his walls.
Poor woman! but I haven't any pity for her. It sometimes seems to me the more worshipful I feel the less I want to go to church.
