Evils of Extravasated

Of all modes /modifications/ of factitious or made honor the most curious is that which has place in the way of what in the physical world in the world of realities used to be called equivocal generation - made without a maker. So many hundred years the /a man's/ supposed ancestor was it is supposed numbered among those whose whole life was a life of oppression and depredation, embellished with incidental acts of murder upon a scale more or less extensive: for this cause it is that to the descendant of that same malefactor respect is by him /himself/ and others respect is required to be paid to this descendant of that same malefactor In this case the honor can not be said to be extravasated In a state of extravasated the honor can not in this case be said to be: for, were the vessel /receptacle/ in which it was primarily seated looked for, by the supposition no such vessel would be to be found.
