complaisance

I proceed how to examine some of those practices to which the priests tell us the Deity attaches his complaisance and his favors.

Basilio would smile bitterly and reflect that in this world complaisance with vice is rewarded better than fulfilment of duty.

He saw that he was getting beyond control, and, under an exterior of compliance and complaisance, he was genuinely alarmed.

I try'd to pacify him, and spar'd no Pains nor Complaisance for it, but all to no purpose.

My first theft was occasioned by complaisance, but it was productive of others which had not so plausible an excuse.
