Emblems: pincers, a wind-vane, and a shattered target
Red-chalk devices on pain, wind, and sudden ruin
This inverted red-chalk page continues the emblems. A tooth pulled with pincers signifies the removal of pain, a wind-vane the better knowledge of the winds, and a target shattered by a bombard-shot draws the moral that so great a ruin can spring from so slight a thing.

Target shattered by a bombard-shot
