The broadside tells a complex story with lots of references and details, but the small pair of glasses on the right needs attention. The "Pfaffen Brill" refers to 2 things: A special pair of glasses (in German #Brille) for priests and pastors is mocking the religious dynamics of the #Thirtyyearswar.
Also, "Pfaffen Brill" refers to the contemporary fortification "Pfaffenmütze" - an insular fortification at the river Rhine, near #Bonn, which was occupied by Protestant Dutch troops in 1620.
