Twelve scenes that illustrate "The Proud Primacy of Popes described in order of their rising up from faithfull Bishops & Martyrs to become Lords & Governors over Kings & Kingdoms" are engraved on this two-page tipped-in fold-out. Each engraving depicts a particular scene, beginning in the upper left corner: "Variety of Tortures exercised on Christians;" "Constantine the Emperor embracing Christian Bishops;" “Bishops of Rome advanced by emperors;" “An Emperor kissing the Popes feet;" “Pope Celestine crowning Henry 6 Emperor with his foot;" "Henry & Emperor waiting 3 dayes and nights in frost and snow for Pope Gregory admittance;" "King John offering his Crown to Pandulphus the Popes Legate;" “Henry & Emperor surrendering his crown to the Pope;" "King Henry kissing the knee of the Popes Legate;" "Frederick Emperor holding y Popes stirrup on y wrong side;" "The Pope Riding the Emperor or holding the Bridle, Kings walking before him;" "The Pope carried on mens shoulders." Each of these is a revised design of the twelve woodcuts that comprise the "Proud Primacy of Popes" series from the second early English edition (1570) forward. No Luborsky and Ingram #.
