Notes:	In the background, a face of a storm-god blows a wind and makes a sailing ship race atop a giant wave; lightning and rain are in the background, and a building burns. In the foreground stands a naked man with a conveniently placed and eminently suitable cock’s head obscuring part of his anatomy. He holds an apple: he is Adam. In front of him a giant sphere with a cross on top of it; emenating from the sphere are the heads of various animals, including dogs, and also I think a human death mask. it is the corrupted womb of Eve. A caption beneath the woodcut reads: Si malum cecuit unicium in omne malum Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death., James i. 15. “Lament, lament; look, look, what thou hast done: Lament the world’s, lament thine own estate: Look, look, by doing, how thou art undone; Lament thy fall, lament thy change of state: They faith is broken, and they freedom gone, See, see, too soon, what thou lament’st too late, O thou that wert so many men, nay, all Abridg’d in one, how has thy desp’rate fall Destroy’d thy unborn seed, destroy’d thyself withall!” (p. 7)

Si malum cecuit unicium in omne malum
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death., James i. 15.

“Lament, lament; look, look, what thou hast done:
Lament the world’s, lament thine own estate:
Look, look, by doing, how thou art undone;
Lament thy fall, lament thy change of state:
They faith is broken, and they freedom gone,
See, see, too soon, what thou lament’st too late,
O thou that wert so many men, nay, all
Abridg’d in one, how has thy desp’rate fall
Destroy’d thy unborn seed, destroy’d thyself withall!” (p. 7)
