Hope in another life implies that we indulge
ourselves in the gratifications of this very
sparingly. --Atterbury.
2. To grant as by favor; to bestow in concession, or in
compliance with a wish or request.
Persuading us that something must be indulged to
public manners. --Jer. Taylor.
Yet, yet a moment, one dim ray of light Indulge,
dread Chaos, and eternal Night! --Pope.
Note: It is remarked by Johnson, that if the matter of
indulgence is a single thing, it has with before it; if
it is a habit, it has in; as, he indulged himself with
a glass of wine or a new book; he indulges himself in
idleness or intemperance. See {Gratify}.
