both countries, England and Ireland, and freed them
from the violence of James and the Roman Catholic party.

No specimen of this medal has been met with: it is the
work of Jan Luder. It is without date, but was probably struck
when William was established on the throne of Great Britain
and Ireland, and the principles of the Reformation were firmly
planted in the three kingdoms. The ark is emblematical of the
reformed churches of the three kingdoms, and the broken statue
of Dagon typifies the destruction of the power of James. The
Philistines are the French, who had assisted James.
