A preacher stands before a distinctly ill-contented congregation in a barren room. He uses as a pulpit an overturned tub inscribed "Remember the clergy"; from his pocket pokes a ballad "Black joke" and under the tub a copy of the book of Common Prayer. On the wall is a bill reading "Next Sabeth Day we shall hav a love feest it is hoped every lamb will atend ..." In the casement window a sign "Mangling done here." In the foreground a small dog urinates on paper inscribed "Repeal of Coporat[ion] & Test Act." A handbill protruding from a quack doctor's pocket reads "Doctor Henry a ever failing remedy."
