He stands (left) within the chancel rails; in his left hand he holds up a flaming torch; in his right hand, which rests on a balustrade, he holds a birch-rod and a paper inscribed "Factious C--y--n. [Countrymen], A Lamentable Want of Sobriety, Foremost in mischief. This is no Gainfull Traffick - Nonresistance &c. Explain'd. Vide my Sermon. Charity Thinketh no Evil &c. A perfectly detestable Faction &c." On the right, in the body of the church, sit clergymen dressed in gown and bands, they listen with varying expressions.
