[Chart IX. and X.] At the Top is a curious Portrait of Queen Elizabeth, (taken from a Gold Alto Relievo, in the Collection of Dr. Mead,) thundering down upon Philip II. King of Spain, Pope Sixtus V. (taken from a Copper Medal in the Collection of Tho. Sadler Esq;) and Alexander Duke of Parma, whom she holds in Chains. At the two bottom Corners are two Boys weeping, and pointing at the Spanish Fleet, which is represented as shipwreck’d, and in the utmost Distress. The Coin at the left Hand Corner of the Top, was struck by the Zealanders, and exhibits the Spanish Fleet in a violent Storm, the Sun above, breaking out of a thick Cloud; the Inscription is, POST · NVBILA · PHOEBVS, After cloudy Weather Sun-shine; or, After a Storm a Calm. On the Coin at the Right Hand, are four Persons upon their Knees, looking up to Heaven, with this Inscription, HOMO · PROPONIT · DEVS · DISPONIT, Man proposeth, God disposeth: The Reverse, which is not copied here, had this Inscription, HISPANI · FVGIVNT · ET · PEREVNT · NEMINE · SEQVENTE.
The above Medals, excepting those taken from the Collections mentioned, are from Histoire Metallique des Pays Bas, par G. van Loon.
This Account was drawn up by the Rev. Mr. Philip Morant, M.A. Rector of St. Mary’s, Colchester.
