20 5, 6-10 | could speak fluently and in better terms, yet still but the

22 5, 6-10 | therefore better, because better said; nor therefore true,
23 5, 7-12 | for this I liked him the better. For fairer is the modesty
24 5, 7-13 | but as one finding nothing better, I had settled to be content

26 5, 10-18| Thee to bestow upon him a better and more abiding health.
