The Post Man, May 1-May 5, 1701
London, May 3. What hopes the French and Spaniards entertain, upon account of the Union of their Nations, may be demonstrated by several instances, but amongst others, I think none expresses better their sentiments, than the Picture of the new King of Spain done at Brussels, with the following ornaments and explanation, which the States General complained of to the Elector of Bavaria.
The Explanation of the Picture,

ON the right hand of the new King, is represented the Monarchy of Spain, offering him her Crown, under the Auspicious Conduct of the Roman Church; who presents the King in one hand with the Order of the Golden Fleece, and in the other holds a Sword, to animate this new Monarch to the destruction of the Hereticks. She also shews him the Standards of France and Spain, join’d together to express the Union of those two Crowns, and their Joynt Resolution to subject the Enemies of St Peter’s Chair, which the Holy Church expects to see put in execution.

Next to these Standards, the French being interspers’d with Flowers de Lye you may observe the French Mars and the Spanish Hercules, concerting the vast designs of the two United Nations, who propose to themselves, to extend their Glory to the most extreme parts of the World, which is more particularly express’d by the Oristame, or Great Banner, at the end of which a Lion holds the Letters PV, which equally signify Plus Ultra and Philippus V.

On the left, a Lady representing Belgia kneeling, does Homage to his Majesty, for these Provinces of the Low Countries, which she is already in Possession of; shewing with her left hand, that part of her Robe which is torn from it, which expresses the United Provinces possess’d by the Hollanders, represented by their Arms blason’d: those two rent in the middle signifie the Dutchies of Brabant and Flanders, which the Dutch have a part of, having the other 7 entire; all which is likewise expressed by the 17 Spikes in her Crown, 7 of which are broken; but she not in the least quitting her hold, places her right Arm in the Ring of the Anchor, which Hope has on her Shoulder, and holding the Pillar which she has brought her, to express that by a constant dependance on her, under the auspicious conduct of the new King, she shall arrive at her wishes, which are the recovery of her Ancient Dominions.

Underneath appears the Belgick Lion, who marches roaring to the Conquest of the revolted Provinces.

A little above the figure of Hope, appears Mount AEctus, where they are making instruments of War, and preparing Ships; to shew, that these two United Nations shall go beyond the Seas, in search of, and to reduce Hereticks, and to make themselves Masters of all the Trade of the old and new World. Mercury and Fame in a Cloud publish this great event to all the Universe; and above that, you may observe a Serpent encircling the Eye of Providence, dispersing its Rays thro the Universe, and giving fertility to the project of this Universal Monarchy.

You may observe likewise, that the Spaniards hope to re-conquer Portugal, as well as to subdue Holland; since one may see in the Scutcheon of the new King, the Arms of Portugal with those of Castile.

The abovesaid Plate is Printed for F.Leach in the Old Baily, and Sold by A.Baldwin in Warwick lane. (chapter five)
