After taking the above impressions, Hogarth changed the point of his satire from the superstitious absurdities of popery and ridiculous personification delineated by ancient painters, to the popular credulities of his own day, erased or essentially altered every figure except two, and on the same piece of copper engraved the plate now in the possession of Messrs.
