And as he talked with him
 About the excessive respect he showed him, and his own infirmity and frailty, and unworthiness, as a creature: 
 he went in;
 to Cornelius's house, at the door, and through the porch, to some interior room and apartment in it: 
 and found many that were come together;
 besides his family, many of his relations and intimate friends, whom he had got together on this occasion, that they might receive some advantage, as well as himself.
