and fortune > th&&& : prrincipies never were displayed with greater courage nor fortitude , qop with & dfenieaaour manifesting the possession Of more upright and conscieuiioQB inl ^ ntions ^ Bat two y « ars and a half iniprisontaent preyed deeply on his health au 4 spirits , particularly ai , daring
