"A fat parson (left), burlesqued, sits in an arm-chair in profile to the right, left hand extended, addressing a naked and thin old man who sits grimly on a stool, hands on knees. They face each other in profile. The parson is drink-blotched, a full glass is in his right hand, on the table is a bottle of 'Port', he raises both feet from the ground. Care has a long beard, unkempt hair, and glares fiercely at the parson"--British Museum online catalogue

"A band of assailants led by an irate bishop approaches from the right, to the attack of a stone building, a corner of the lower part of which is on the left. A closed door is inscribed 'Office of Justice'; from an open window immediately above it a man leans out, pistol in hand, saying, "This is my House this is my Castle". Two women kneel beside the stout bishop, one clutches his arm to restrain him, the other weeps; a third standing behind also weeps. Two parsons with clenched fists stand behind the bishop, one, who is fat, says "Turn him out"; the other, who is lean, says: "Ill thrach the Dog I'll box him what Dare to act contrary to the Opinions of his Spiritual Dictator, no not even in his Temporals, Turn him out." A third equally irate parson stands alone on the left of the door. A crowd with clubs and banners brings up the rear behind the clergy; the most conspicuous are two footmen in livery. The three banners are: 'Church Millitant', 'Unqualified Submission to our Spiritual Guides', and 'All Obedience.'"--British Museum online catalogue
