Fig. 28. The full title page of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs contrasts the fate of Protestants (on the left), who are burned on earth but triumph forever in heaven, with the fate of Catholics (on the right), who celebrate the triumph of their sacrament of the mass on earth but suffer eternal torment in hell thereafter. The two bottom panels of Foxe’s title page are enlarged to show the Protestants holding books and kneeling before the sacred Word; the Catholics holding beads and following, in sheeplike formation, a priestly procession. From John Foxe, Actes and Monuments . . . Touching . . . Great Persecutions . . . (London: John Day, 1563). Reproduced by kind permission of the Folger Shakespeare Library.
