Scripture Reference:
Description: Resignation and Perseverance are engaged in a wrestling match; one of the wrestlers [Resignation] has his foot on the World. On the left are two devils who withdraw from the radiant shield held in front of them by an angel; a second angel holds a reef above the head of the wrestlers. The Dutch artist and poet Jan Luiken (1649-1712), whose initials are at the lower right, was responsible for drawing and etching this emblem and for the poem that accompanies it (below). The attendant scripture text is James 1:12.
