In het midden van de voorstelling is een vuurplaats afgebeeld. Voor de oven liggen allerlei wapens en harnassen. Dit zijn restanten van wreedheden die rechts op de achtergrond zijn afgebeeld. Mannen en vrouwen verzamelen de wapenrustingen en brengen ze naar de vuurplaats onder leiding van de Rede. Voorzienigheid verwarmt in het vuur de punt van een speer. Links is te zien hoe de Tijd het hete ijzer bewerkt. Naast de Tijd is een citaat uit Jesaja 2:4 vermeld: 'van hun zwaarden zullen zij ploegijzer smeden en sikkels van hun lansen. Op het aambeeld van de Tijd is vermeld dat de tijd alles verandert. Op de achtergrond links zijn figuren te zien die het land bewerken. In de marge van de prent is een opschrift in het Nederlands, Latijn en Frans aangebracht. De prent is een allegorie op het Eeuwig edict dat werd gesloten tussen Don Juan van Oostenrijk, Spaanse landvoogd van de Nederlanden en de Staten-Generaal. De prent is gemaakt door Wierix naar Maarten van Cleve en uitgegeven door Pieter Baltens.

Thank you for your interest in visiting the Sint-Janshuismolen. We would like to inform you about the limited capacity of the mill.
The Sint-Janshuismolen is not very large, and for safety reasons, we can only accommodate a maximum of 25 students per half hour. To ensure that all students can explore the mill, we will divide the class into two or three groups on-site.
A part of the group will have the opportunity to view the mill from the outside, while the other part can actually enter the mill. After a certain time, the groups will switch so that everyone has a chance to see and experience everything.
We want to ensure that all students have a valuable and educational experience during their visit to the Sint-Janshuismolen. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in following this arrangement.
Attention: you might be paying too much
