Catholics may glory that time has softened their zeal into charity for all sects, and made them blush at these memorials of the misguided zeal of our ancestors.
Trang 207 - Time, gradually raising her up ; at her side a woman gently touching her with one hand-, whilst a winged sceptre in the other directs her to regard the goddesses in the clouds one with a cornucopia denoting plenty, the other with a palm branch - the emblem of peace.
