Chap. XXI.—Of the Torments and Punishments of Souls.
[1413] Cum trepidatione mobili. [See vol. vi. p. 375, note 1.]
[1414] Perstringentur igni atque amburentur. [See p. 216, n. 5, supra.] This idea of passing through flames of the final judgment has in it nothing in common with “purgatory” as a place and as a punishment from which admission into heaven may be gained before judgment.]

[1421] [This is “the first resurrection” as conceived of by the ancients, and the (Phil. iii. 11) ἐξανάστασις of St. Paul.]
[1422] Profani a sacramentis.
[1423] [This rationale of the Orphica and Sibyllina deserves thought.]
[1424] Vector, i.e., the passenger, as opposed to one who sails in a ship of war.
[1425] Virg., Bucol., iv. 21–45. The order of the lines is changed. [This, the famous Pollio, greatly influenced Constantine. See p. 140, note 7, supra.]
