Explanation: He pronounces amen three or four times to the so prayer, and sometimes stands up when everybody else is upon their knees.

Answer: These memorable and conspicuous lines have been extracted from the famous essay namely. ‘Sir Roger at Church’ by Addison an eminent Addison has, in a very sarcastic manner, highlights the eccentricity of Sir Roger. Actually, through his character, the writer laughs at the weakness of the contemporary country squires who are fond of slothful and epicurean life disdaining their day-to-day labor.

Sir Roger, the country squire, is very much eager to make a spiritual development of his tenants. He provides a rich cloth to be spread over the pulpit. He engages an itinerant priest to sermonize the psalms. He gives a hassock to each of the adorers. He, as the landlord, conducts the congregation. He pronounces amen (let it be so), a Hebrew word three or four times repeatedly if he likes the prayer. Sometimes he stands up to count the number of the worshipers or to mark who remains ale sent for the congregation white everybody is coupon his knees.

This statement throws light on the eccentricity of Sir Roger. Through such behavior, Addison depicts the evil culture of the then-country squires who were outwardly noble but inwardly evil-cluttered, superstitious, and eccentric.
