In the "Amulet," Hendrick Conscience has worked up an incident which

occurred at Antwerp, in the 16th century, into a story of great power

and deep interest It was a dark and bloody deed comly illustrating how God

laughs the sinner to scorn, and how the ly devised scheing justice to

expose them in their enormity On the contrary, it forcibly proves that

virtuous actions, sooner or later, bear abundant fruit even in this

world If a ood deeds dran the benedictions of heaven and serve as a shield to

protect him from his enemies
