Description
King Charles I wearing the George is seated astride a globe: he finishes writing the word "Scotica(m)" on the map of Scotland. A banderolle bears the words "Non enim te spreverunt solum, sed me spreverunt, ne regnem super ipsos" (For they scorned not thee alone but they scorned me, lest I should rule over them). A banderolle by his mouth says "Per ecclesiam petor" (I am sought through the church), which is continued on the globe, where the map of Great Britain shows Scotland and England marked "Scotica(m) ecclesia(m) et Anglicana(m) ecclesia(m) ad" (the Scottish church and the Anglican church). Above the king, two cherubim hold a banner lettered "Fidei defensor" in the rays of the sun
