The descent, therefore, of this precious Lady was from an eminently noble Family, the House of Huntingdon; the Earldom whereof hath continued so long in the name of HASTINGS, that by meer Age it hath worn out most of those that preceded in the Catalogue of English Earls; and now, in the Person of her hopeful Brother, sets its foot upon the seaventh Round from the very Top of that scale of Honour. And yet this humble Lady, whiles she lived, made so little reckoning thereof, that she was never known either in word or carriage to shew any elation of spirit upon that account, which would have tempted many others, to divers disdainful and insolent extravagancies. |
The descent, Therefore, of this precious Lady was from an eminently noble Family, the House of Huntingdon; the Earldom whereof hath continued so long in the name of HASTINGS, that by mere Age it hath worn out most of those that preceded in the Catalogue of English Earls; and now, in the Person of her hopeful Brother, sets its foot upon the Seventh Round from the very Top of that scale of Honour. And yet this humble Lady, while she lived, made so little reckoning thereof, that she was never known either in word or carriage to show any elation of Spirit upon that account, which would have tempted many Others, to diverse disdainful and insolent extravagancies. |
