"The interior of a church. Archbishop Markham (left) delivering a charge to his clergy. 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. Behind the archbishop is a table of the Ten Commandments, on which is inscribed, "... VI Thou shalt do no Murder and IX Thou shalt not bear false Witness &c." Below the design is etched, "Remarks upon a late charge delivered not 100 Miles from Y--k. Vide Rememr.pt. 2nd 1781- page 239."--British Museum online catalogue
