- Abstract
-
"A preacher (right) leans from his pulpit to address the congregation immediately below, losing his wig which is about to fall into three lighted candles, while the clerk leans forward to catch it. He says: "Verily I say unto Ye. Ye will be all of Lucifer's Gang, unless - Hollo! my Wig's off - G-d-n You catch it, You Son of a Bitch, or it will be burnt to a Cinder". The congregation are represented by four heads and shoulders in back view, and a standing man. An ugly old crone (right) says: "Oh! what a Cross Man to swear so! - Til never come here any More." A buxom young woman looks over her shoulder to say: "This will be Half a Guinea in my Husband's Pocket for a New One.""--British Museum online catalogue
