    Thefe are the fubje£ts of Piate IV, being the 7th and 8tb ron- deaus of the Saint’s hiftory. The firft of thefe is fuperfcribed, Demones {erunt Guthlacum in aerem Under him in the cell or oratory is left his companion Becm celinus. On the other is written, Demon es ferunt Guthlacum ad portam inferi. St. Bartholomew brings a whip to Guthlac. Sds Bartholom fert flagru Guthlaco. This inftrument of mortification of himfelf, and rebuke of the evil fpirits, is the conflant emblem or device of Guthlac. It appears in the hand of his ftatue on the beautiful Wefl front of his abbey church, and under the feet of the image is a demon crufhed. It was alfo adopted on the town-piece of Groyland, 1670. This circumftance is not however noticed in the life of him by Felix, which fo well illuftrates the drawings.
