Graita Dei sum id quod sum. Thanks to God that I am what I am … The Jews. Quis est Jesus filius fabri? Who is Jesus but the son of the carpenter? The Pagans. Quis nostre dominus est? Who is our Lord? … The Bad Christians. Ducamus in bonis vies nostros. We guide ourselves to salvation.

6. Give us this day our daily bread. In the centre, three loaves of bread on a table, around which is Charity, robed as a queen, with three other figures. On one side the Monk and Angel kneeling; on the other, a Knight in armor.

7. Forgive us our trespasses. Christ standing on the altar, the blood pouring from his side in a basin, from which several persons fill their cups.

8. Lead us not into temptation. The disobedient, proud, gluttonous and avaricious surround a table. Death carries away the foremost.

9. Deliver us from evil. A representation of Hell. The disobedient man in the power of the Devil. The damned making supplication to the Almighty.

10. Amen. A view of Paradise, with the happiness of the blessed.
