to have the tranfportation of fouls from one fide of thofe rivers
to the other, is intimated, that, as foon as we are born into the
world, it carries us along by little and little unto our deaths ;
and fo tranfports us over thofe rivers, whofe names, by inter-

CHASTITY, is reprefented in painting, &c. by a modeffj

would correct herfelf, cloathed with a white robe ; on her girdle
is written caffigo corpus meum, I chaftife my body. At her feet
