PLATE X.—THE FRIAR PROVISOR.
As he is just stepping into his convent, with his Christmas-box and wallet, Death stops him at the door; and deaf to his cries, as well as regardless of the fright he throws him into, drags him with all his might by the cloak, and renders all the good Friar’s attempts to disengage himself ineffectual.
Sedentes in tenebris & umbra Mortis: vinctos in mendicitate. Psal. cvi. 10.
