A good and a bad preacher
Title
A good and a bad preacher
Description

A good and a bad preacher: The good preacher, in a square pulpit, holds a sword with which he pierces and lifts up a fish around which a snake, held by the devil, tried to wind itself. Christ, in half-figure in a cloud above, gestures in blessing towards the preacher - The bad preacher, in a curved pulpit, holds a broken sword; the snake held by the devil coils itself firmly around the fish. - The good and the bad priest: The good priest stands at the alter elevating the host; two acolytes are behind the priest, one ringing a bell, the second holding a candle and lifting the hem of the priest's cope. - The bad priest kneels at the alter, his hands raised in prayer; behind him, a devil operates a series of five bellows to blow at the priest; each bellows has one of the causes of corruption written beside it.
