ore serenely. 39. And now, I give in clear succession, the order of the statues of the whole front, with the subjects of the quatrefoils beneath each of them, marking the upper quatrefoil A, the lower B.

Gentillesse. B. Churlishness. 4. ST. JOHN. A. Love. B. Discord. 5. ST. MATTHEW. A. Obedience. B. Rebellion. 6. ST. SIMON. A. Perseverance. B. Atheism.
