I can see people think me much worse off than I think myself. They may be right; but I will not be beat till I have tried a rally, and a bold one. February 8. Slept ill, and rather bilious in the morning. Many of the Bench now are my juniors. I will not seek ex eleemosynâ a place which, had I turned my studies that way, I might have aspired to long ago ex meritis.
'Alms, too, is thoroughly English, and English which has descended to us from far; the very shape in which we have the word, one syllable for 'eleemosyna' of six, sufficiently testifying this; 'letters, as Horne Tooke observes, like soldiers, being apt to desert and drop off in a long march. The seven-syllabled and awkward 'eleemosynary' is of far more recent date.
For as one saieth: Eripere alteri fraudulenter quod alteri des misericorditer, iniustitia quidem est et non eleemosyna—to take from one fraudulently to give to another mercifully, is no almes nor charitie, but plaine iniquitie.
