Abstract:
"Orator Henley preaching in his chapel in Newport Market which crowded with listeners, male and female intermingled, some standing, some seated in pews, and others in a gallery; in the foreground stands a drover with his dog. Henley to the left wearing a wig standing in a pulpit hung with a cloth bearing three fleurs-de-lis, with a devil hovering above him holding a noose and a Jesuit cap. At the foot of the steps to the gallery an additional figure has been added in graphite; this appears as "Jack Ketch", the public hangman, in the finished print. The whole composition is placed within a scrolled and foliated border including rosary beads hanging on either side."--British Museum online catalogue

A tracing of a 1731 print after Hogarth: Satire on Orator Henley and his followers. A view of his Oratory in Clare Market with Henley preaching from an open-air platform in front of the building, one cloven hoof protruding from beneath his robe. A monkey wearing clerical bands holds a rope which is attached to Henley's right hand; a small chest of pills, a medicine bottle and a pamphlet lettered "The Hyp Doctor" lie at his feet. In the foreground is a procession of men, lettered, "Ha!", "Ha!", "Te Hee", "He!" and "Silly Cur"; the latter wearing a laurel wreath is identified by Hawkins as Colley Cibber, and the others, two of whom wear ruffs, may be intended as actors or clowns; a puritan at their head, is urged by Henley's "Scout" towards the door of the Oratory, outside which stands a butcher acting as doorman; inside a man pays a clergyman at "The Treasury". On the extreme left, a man squats defecating on Henley's publications. Behind him a coach bears Folly, holding her bauble, towards an inn with the sign of the dunce's cap; a gallows labelled "Merit" stands beside it and an angel holding a ribbon labelled "Modesty" flies off
