Reálty. n.s. [a word peculiar, I believe, to Milton.]
Realty means not in this place reality in opposition to show, but loyalty; for the Italian Dictionary explains the adjective reale by loyal. Pearce on Milton.
O heaven, that such resemblance of the highest
Should yet remain, where faith and realty
Remain not. Milton's Paradise Lost, b. vi.
