Magna Britannia divisa

This image-text is too large for me to describe in the time I have left. If I had known this were here, I would have started with this. But constraints being what they are, I can just note that I"ll view this again during the NEH.

Okay, I've finally got a bit of time and a workstation that allow me to look at this more fully. Here are some of the texts that don't register in the EEBO scan:

• The banner to the right of "C" reads, "Pro religione | Pro libertate". 
• Above "D," one figure is labeled "M. Pim". Below "D," one banner reads "Pro deo | Pro Rege"
• To the right of "F," the men under the gate are labeled "Militia"
• The banner above "M" reads, "Pro religione | Pro protestante".
• The banner above "H" reads, "Pro deo &c pro libertate"
• The flagpole above "L" reads "Religio Christiana"
• The banners above "V" read, separately, "Pro libertate &c." and "Pro rege &c."
• The banners above "1-6" read, "Array", "Bellum-Episcopalem-Sive", "Religio-Papalis," and "Ad-Extirpationem-Parliamentorum"
• The smoke blown by figure 77 reads, "meridionale"
• The smoke blown by 78 reads, "Instructionibus generalis"
• Underneath figure 81, the text along the left scale reads, "pro hispania"; the text along the right scale reads, "pro Francia".

Other notes: 

• The banner for 2 features a figure with a book in her left hand and a windmill in her right hand.
• The banner for 3 features an ass, kicking.
• The banner for 8 features a Pope in his mitre.

The key reads,

Litterae alphibeticae ad explicationem Profeſsionis Figurae vero  arithmeticae ad deſcriptionem Proceſsionis spectant.
The alphabeticall letters send thee to th'explication of the Profeſsion
and the arithmeticall figures to the deſcription of the Proceſsion.

The British Museum has a curator's write-up, with complete references to the people depicted.

Here's some of the text that's least clear in the EEBO scan:
