"trust and distrust"

in a german ancestry book ('stammbuch des albrecht christoph gugel'), ca. 1686-1688

source: Nürnberg, GNM, Hs 84104 b, fol. 74v

the emblematic image serves as a reminder that a ruler shoudn't be too trustful. the hand stands for "fides" (trust), the eyes on the hand stand for cautiousness.

excerpt from a printed emblem book (ca. 1700) describing the same motif (sometimes referred to as manus oculata):
