The true portrait

of the first Jesuit-adversary, Ignat. Loyola.

A woodcut portrait of Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, shown in profile facing left. He has a tonsure, a short beard, and is dressed in a simple clerical habit. He is depicted in a state of prayer, with his hands clasped and holding a rosary. Before him stands a crucifix mounted on a base that features a small skull (memento mori). In the upper right corner, within the framed border, is a heart containing the "IHS" Christogram surmounted by a cross. The entire image is enclosed in a double-line rectangular border.

He died in the year of the Lord 56, at age 65, converted 35.

ENIGMA.

In face, a sheep; from behind, a wolf; here a robber; there a dog:
What is it? Does a single verse capture the Jesuit?

ANOTHER.

An impostor to the Swede. A murderer to the Gaul. A traitor
To the English. A spy to the Empire. A servant to the Iberian.
A plunderer of the Belgians. A most mendacious thief to the Indians.
A flatterer to the Italian. I have spoken the Jesuit with a refined tongue.
