In the ancient burial place at Salem may still be seen the tomb of the old man who had known over sixty years of public service. Armiger, exordine Senatoris, in colonia Massachusettensi ab anno 1630, usque ad anum 1673. Deinde ad anum 1679, Vice-Gubernator. Denique ad anum 1686, ejusdem coloniae, communi et constanti populi suffragio, Gubernator.
To such dispositions alone can the admonition of Pliny be requisite, Neque enim debet operibus ejus obesse, quod vivit. An si inter eos, quos nunquam vidimus, floruisset, non solum libros ejus, verum etiam imagines conquireremus, ejusdem nunc honor prasentis, et gratia quasi satietate languescet?
"Obesse non potest, quin ejusdem hominis sit, probos improbare, qui improbos probet." How much better would it have been if he had said, "Quin ejusdem hominis sit, qui improbos probet, probos improbare!" No one ever had any objection to speaking in this manner; and no one was ever able to do so who did not do it.

Bless me! a chapter would be required for the explanation of each several word of this definition, and little less than omniscience for its application in any one instance. An effect presented to the senses without any adequate antecedent, 'ejusdem generis', is a miracle in the philosophic sense.
How much better would the period have terminated if he had said, "quin ejusdem hominis fit, qui improbos probet, probos improbare!" "that the same person who is a friend to vice, must be an enemy to virtue!" There is no one who would object to the last: nay, it is impossible that any one who was able to speak thus, should have been willing to express himself otherwise.
