"which a life of Patriotism eminently entitles and quallifies, to enjoy." - Letter from March 6th 1797 by Oliver Ellsworth

Question

With the same ardour that I have sought the felicity and glory of your Administration, do I now implore for you in repose, those sublime pleasures from a review of the past and perspective of the future, which a life of Patriotism eminently entitles and quallifies, to enjoy.
Source: 1797 Letter from Oliver Ellsworth (3rd Chief Justice of the US) to George Washington

First, why did Ellsworth precede the verb ("to enjoy") with the predicate ("those sublime pleasurse ... entitles and quallifies") ?

I register that this is a letter from 1797 but would like a deeper explanation. I then moved "to enjoy" to a modern position :

1. With the same ardour that I have sought the felicity and glory of your Administration, do I now implore for you in repose to enjoy, those sublime pleasures from a review of the past and perspective of the future, which a life of Patriotism eminently entitles and quallifies.

Second, I'm still muddled by the bolded phrase. Shouldn't the verbs be "entitle TO" and "quallify (ie qualify) FOR" ? The verbs with no prepositions afterwards sound deficient :

1. With the same ardour that I have sought the felicity and glory of your Administration, do I now implore for you in repose to enjoy those sublime pleasures which a life of Patriotism eminently entitles YOU TO and quallifies YOU FOR. from a review of the past and perspective of the future.

Supplement to Andrew Leach's Answer:

1. Could you please demystify how and why "to enjoy" should succeed
   "those sublime pleasures ... which a life of ... entitles and qualifies",
   and NOT precede it?

2. How and why did Ellsworth omit "YOU" as the direct object of entitles and quallifies?

3. How can I make sense of #1 in my second box, if I wanted to position "to enjoy" before "those sublime pleasures ... which a life of ... entitles and qualifies" ?

In other words, is it possible to construe Ellsworth's writing with "to enjoy" before "those sublime pleasures ..." ?

I don't apprehend why, but possibly due to bias towards my first impression, I still think this conceivable.

Answer 1

It's moving the to enjoy which has introduced the difficulty with entitle and qualify. Ellsworth says that Washington is entitled and qualified to enjoy those sublime pleasures.

The original appears almost illiterate to modern eyes, but perhaps it could be modernised relatively simply by re-arranging the punctuation. A further improvement would be to explicitly add the implied you:

With the same ardour that I have sought the felecity and glory of your Administration: do I now implore for you in repose, those sublime pleasures from a review of the past and perspective of the future, which a life of Patriotism eminently entitles and quallifies, to enjoy. [source]

With the same ardour that I have sought the felecity and glory of your Administration do I now implore for you, in repose, those sublime pleasures from a review of the past and perspective of the future which a life of Patriotism eminently entitles and quallifies you to enjoy.

“Just as I have sought good things for your administration in the past, so do I now earnestly pray that you gain those great pleasures which your life of patriotism eminently entitles and qualifies you to enjoy.”
