The greater the number the [...?] and the quality of ill-will with reference to him possessed by the train of individuals, the more frequent will and the more frequently you and to the greater degree success[?] naturally to the endeavours employed by those adversaries to bring down upon him suffering in all imaginable shapes: and [...?] correspondently frequent the demand created for the exercise of the power of vengeance.
