verb

Etymology: Borrowed from Latin extollō (“elevate, raise high”).

  1. To praise; to make high.

    Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

    It not only congratulates the Pope, but panegyrizes his Holiness, extols the college of cardinals and the bishops of Italy, calls upon the ashes of the martyrs to rejoice, apostrophizes Peter and Paul, and pays many fine compliments to happy Britain, although dissentient from the Romish faith;—it then reverts, in conclusion, to the Pope, and ends with intreating his blessing and assuring him of the prayers of his Irish congratulators.
