- Abstract:
- "An officer (right), Col. Patrick Creighton (the adjutant), standing in profile to the left, his right arm and forefinger extended, drills a body of stout volunteers who march (right to left) in a serried triangular mass in the middle distance. Behind (right) a stout officer, Captain Coulter, stands in profile to the left with drawn sword. Three men march stiffly from right to left. In the background a body of volunteers, described as the awkward squad, stands full-face. The men are conspicuous for civic portliness, and the neatness and uniformity of their dress, in contrast with contemporary satires on English militiamen, &c, cf. BMSat 8503."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- A design in five compartments, each occupied by a figure in profile to the right. Above each is an inscription. On the extreme left is a parson preaching from a pulpit; the head of the precentor appears in his desk beneath. Inscribed: 'I pray for all'. Next an advocate in his gown, his right hand raised: 'I plead for all'. Next a corpulent well-dressed man, holding up a sickle in his right hand: 'I maintain all'. Next is a still more corpulent military officer with a drawn sword: 'I fight for all'. Next is the Devil (no wings in this early state), prancing among flames, his talons extended: 'I take all'.
