Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darknessfor light, and light for darkness j that put bitter for sweet, andsweet for bitter ! Isaiah, v. 20.

As he is preaching to his congregation.Death, who is behind him with a stole about hisneck, holds over his head the bone of a dead body,and by shewing it to the assembly, preaches tothem, undoubtedly, the most eloquent of all ser-mons.

PLANCHE XVII.—LE PREDICATEUR.

Tandis qu'il preche son auditoire, la Mortqui est derriere lui, une etole au cou, elcve par-dessus sa tete un os de mort, & en la montrant al'assemblce lui fait sans doute le plus eloquent detous les sermons.
