"Heading to a rebus engraved below the design, giving the text of the sermon. An ugly parson (right) preaches in close proximity to the canopied pew of the Duke of York, in which the Duke sprawls, with one leg along the edge of the pew. Mrs. Clarke, between them, leans with folded arms on the edge of the pew, facing the Duke. O'Meara says: "Mrs Clark is the Text". The rebus or pictograph, sometimes anagrammatic, would be scarcely comprehensible without the key, unlike the usual 'hieroglyphic letter', e.g. British Museum Satiries No. 11228, &c. The text is on a printed slip: 'Grant me, I beseech you, O great and mighty Lord of the Land of Oats [Oatlands], a Bishopric; or, if it be more agreeable to your Royal Mind, let me be immediately made a Dean. O dearest Angel, Mrs. Clark! as you are my only Refuge in the Time of Trouble, and as you are the only Great Giver of Places in Church and State, let me entreat your Interest in my behalf! . . . [&c. &c.].'"--British Museum online catalogue
