   Princes and great men in the East, as Sir J. Chardin
   testifies, are obliged to have a great stock of clothes in
   readiness for presents on all occasions; and a great quantity
   of provisions for the table is equally necessary, (see 1; Ki
   4:22, 23.  Ne 5:17, 18.)  Hence the person desired to
   undertake the government, alleges as an excuse that he is not
   able to support the dignity of his station.
