Image description: In the foreground, from left to right, there are a bishop, Jesuit, the devil in the guise of a salamander, a pope and monk. All are trying to blow out the candle in the centre of the composition. The figures on the opposite side of the table all played a crucial role in the Protestant Reformation. The candle is positioned on the gospel and symbolises that the Reformation brought it back to the light. inscribed '’TLICHT IS OP DEN KANDELAER GESTELT / 'Verkeerde Geleertheit. / Jesus W..e… nooit raat. / Leugengeest / Valsche.
