Lettering: Sume Iesu penicilla, corq.<ue> totum conscribilla piis imaginibus: sic nec Venus prophanabit, nec Voluptas inquinabit vanis phantasmatibus. Anton. Wierx fecit et excud. Translation of lettering: Take, Jesus, your paint-brushes and daub over the whole heart with holy images. Thus neither shall Venus profane it not shall pleasure pollute it with empty fantasies.
