The Motto is that of the Dutch city of Leiden while the emblem of seven tied arrows relates to the Seven Provinces. It is likely this glass commemorates the Siege of Leiden during the Eighty Years' War. As a reward for the heroic defence of the city, William I of Orange founded the University of Leiden and the end of the siege was celebrated each year on 3 October.
