- Abstract:
- Illustration to verses printed in two columns. An elderly parson, holding his pipe, his back to the fire, makes gestures of rage towards his servant (right) who hurries terrified from the room as he drops a jug. His wife (left) holds his coat to restrain him, dropping a book from her lap as she sits in a chair with a slipcover. The verses in letterpress below the image relate that after a sermon on the misfortunes of Job, the parson told his wife that his 'patience and strength of mind' were equal to Job's, though she (like other women) was incapable of such restraint. His servant enters to tell him that the contents of a cask of ale had been spilt. His wife reproaches him for his violent abuse: "Job was not half so vext ..."; he says: "Answer me this, I say- Did Job e'er lose a barrel of such ale?" On the wall behing is a picture of Job suffering by the road as described in the Bible. See British Museum catalogue
