In the top part of the image "papists" are packing away their "paltry," while the church is purged of idols. The bottom left depicts clerics receiving the Bible from King Edward VI, while on the bottom right we see the main elements of Protestant worship, including preaching of the Word and the two Protestant sacraments of communion (with bread and wine) and baptism.
