5, A. OBEDIENCE, bears shield with camel. Actually the most disobedient and ill-tempered of all serviceable beasts,--yet passing his life in the most painful service. I do not know how far his character was understood by the northern sculptor; but I believe he is taken as a type of burden-bearing, without joy or sympathy, such as the horse has, and without power of offence, such as the ox has. His bite is bad enough, (see Mr. Palgrave's account of him,) but presumably little known of at Amiens, even by Crusaders, who would always ride their own war-horses, or nothing. 5, B. REBELLION, a man snapping his fingers at his Bishop. (As Henry the Eighth at the Pope,--and the modern French and English cockney at all priests whatever.) 6, A. PERSEVERENCE, the grandest spiritual form of the virtue commonly called 'Fortitude.' Usually, overcoming or tearing a lion; here, _caressing_ one, and _holding_ her crown. "Hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." 6, B. ATHEISM, leaving his shoes at the church door. The infidel fool is always represented in twelfth and thirteenth century MS. as barefoot--the Christian having "his feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace." Compare "How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O Prince's Daughter!" 7, A. FAITH, holding cup with cross above it, her accepted symbol throughout ancient Europe. It is also an enduring one, for, all differences of Church put aside, the words, "Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and Drink His blood, ye have no life in you," remain in their mystery, to be understood only by those who have learned the sacredness of food, in all times and places, and the laws of life and spirit, dependent on its acceptance, refusal, and distribution. 7, B. IDOLATRY, kneeling to a monster. The _contrary_ of Faith--not _want_ of Faith. Idolatry is faith in the wrong thing, and quite distinct from Faith in _No_ thing (6, B), the "Dixit Insipiens." Very wise men may be idolaters, but they cannot be atheists. 8, A. HOPE, with Gonfalon Standard and _distant_ crown; as opposed to the constant crown of Fortitude (6, A). The Gonfalon (Gund, war, fahr, standard, according to Poitevin's dictionary), is the pointed ensign of forward battle; essentially sacred; hence the constant name "Gonfaloniere" of the battle standard-bearers of the Italian republics.
