Image Title: Duty of the Just Christian

Description: In the foreground, a man confers sheds his ragged clothes as he confers with a serpent. Behind him three people worship the sun and stars. To their left, a man prunes dead branches from a large tree. To his left, people walk up a ramp only to fall into the mouth of hell. In the center, a man ponders the scene. The Latin superscription reads, "The duty of the just Christian," and the text below, "In what way will I fill up Christendom with justice and good? Flee what is worse: and prudently follow what is better.".
