Whatsoever good service I have done to the king, or kingdom, or to any particular persons, neighbours, friends, or others, which sometimes they have acknowledged and highly commended, is now quite forgotten by all of them; or, at least, they carry themselves to me as if it were so. As a dead man; whose name and memory is quite lost within a few days. See Psalms 88:12 Ecclesiastes 9:5. Like a broken vessel, made of earth; which is irreparable, and useless, and therefore despised by all.
