Mr Broughton reads,I droelt as a King in a Gariísso,the meaning is, I was in as 'snick honour amongfl my people as a King is among or with his Army; or thus, Though I did not rerrrfìe nor ,keep them under b y any military force , or by the power ofan army, 1 et 1: was as much obeyed and honoured as if Iliaddwelt in an e/Irmy, &r had made,my Court a Garifon. t,'[y ciTtagiffratical /word was as much feared and fubrnitted to, as if had almayes kept it rep and evade it good by the militaryfroord.!dwelt at a King in eh: Army.
