Scripture Reference:

Description: Two men playing checkers point to a man carrying a rosary, whose back is to them. In the foreground, a woman gathers eggs and in the background, two dogs harass a horseman, who rides away from them. The Latin superscription reads, "Abuses ought not frighten off from righteousness," and the text below, "Is not the populace frightened from the way of a virtue by a breeze? Press on all the way on your journey: the wind will pluck the rest.".
