A jovial countryman leans on a rustic railing next to a tree, to address a fat elderly parson on horseback (riding to the left). He asks, "Ha! Ha, the knaust Doctor I be a rum fellow, Canst thee tell me why a parsons horse be like a king?" The parson answers with a grin, "Why you rogue, because it is guided by a minister." He is red-faced and freckled and prosperous looking, with a round belly; he carries a sermon in his pocket whose title is "Sermon to be prea[ched] ..."

"A farmyard scene, with a corner of the house on the left. A grossly fat and carbuncled parson on a quest for tithes encounters the farmer's wife, who runs towards him proffering an open bandbox, with a dangling lid inscribed 10th. A miniature hussar, very dandified in shako and pelisse, stands in it, superciliously inspecting the parson through an eye-glass. The woman, who is plump and well-dressed, wearing apron and bonnet, says: Seeing your Reverence comeing for your Tithes, I have brought you a Tenth. The parson, who holds a large book, Tithe list, and has a chicken in his capacious pocket, answers with a scowl and gesture of refusal: Take it back! take it back! good Woman; I never tithe Monkeys. The little hussar says: Eh! eh! what does that there fellow say? An amused yokel with a pitchfork leans over a gate (left). A cock crows on a dunghill, an ass brays. Corn-sheaves stand in a distant field."--British Museum online catalogue

I have not seen him these two months, I hope it is not Socinianism, or Deism, or Atheism, that keeps him from Church?--O no your Reverence! it be far worse than any of they complaints it be Rheumatism!"--British Museum online catalogue
