[1410] Virg., Æneid, vi. 735.

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.]

[1424] Vector, i.e., the passenger, as opposed to one who sails in a ship of war.
