divert a man from his defign, if grounded on reafon, who is en-
dued with that quality.
Civil SEDITION, is reprefented, in painting, kc. by a wo-
man with a halbert in one hand, and a branch of ever-green oak
in the other; two dogs at her feet, marling one at another.—The
branch fignifies, that it being fo ftrong a plant, that it is not ea-
fy to be cut to pieces, yet, by finking one againft another, they
are foon broken ; fo the republic, being well guarded, difficultly
yields to an enemy, yet, clafhing one againft another, by Sedi-
tion, foon falls; the two dogs denote Sedition, that, being of the
fame fpecies, yet quarrel for meat or a fait bitch.
SEPTEMBER, is reprefented, in painting, &c. in a purple
robe, with a chearful countenance, having on his head a coro-
net of white and purple grapes, holding in his left hand a hand-
ful of oats, with a cornucopia of pomegranates, and other fum-
mer fruits; and in his right hand a balance.
Of limning SERPENTS. Draw the backs of ferpents with
bice, and downwards, towards the belly, with a pale black, the
back fpeckled with black fpecks.
The adder with red lead, vermilion, and faffron, with blue
on the back ; and, on the belly below, yellow mafticote and
white, fpeckled all over with white fpots.
The crocodile with a dark thin green, from the back down-
wards towards the belly : below the belly with mafticote, fo that
the yellow and green may enter one into the other, and vanifh
away into one another : Shadow him with indigo and {"malt, and
heighten the belly with mafticote and white : The mouth, be-
fore and within, reddifh, the fcales black, the claws of a blackifh
green, the nails wholly black.
SERVITUDE, is reprefented, in painting, &x. by a young
girl, her hair difhevelled, in a Ihort white gown, a yoke on her
fhoulders, a crane by her holding a {tone in her foot.—Young,
the better to fupport labour ; her hair fhews, that thofe who de-
pend on others, neglect themfelves ; the yoke, that fhe ought to
bear it patiently ; the crane is a fymbol of vigilance ; the white
gown a fervant's faithfulnefs.
SEVERITY, is reprefented, in painting, &c. by an old ma-
tron in a royal habit, with a crown of laurel in one hand ; a
club, on which is a naked ponyard fixed ; in the other a fceptre,
in the pofture of commanding ; a fierce tyger at her feet.—Her
habit fhews, that men in dignity are fevere ; the club, firmnefs;
the ponyard, that Severity is inflexible, as to inflicting punifh-
ment, when reafon requires it.
