Abstract:
In the center of the image is a large bag, overflowing with loaves and fishes. It is drawn with eyes, nose, and mouth which register apprehension as it looks to the right. Its two sides are being pulled in opposite directions: on the left, it is pulled by sheep on their hind legs and on the right by bloated, carbuncled parsons from whose overfilled pockets flow coins and fish. Inscribed on the strip being pulled by the sheep, "Petitions from every parish in the city ... " The inscription on the strip being pulled by the parsons reads: Claims of the London clergy. Labels that appear above the heads of most of the sheep express outrage at the corruption and greed of the clergy while the labels coming from the clergy side express contempt for, and outrage with, their flock's resistance to their will. The clergy stand in a pool labelled "milk and honey"; papers with headlines such as "A Quaker's toast" and "Beggars petition" lay scattered on the ground. In the background, fat parsons dance around a pillar supporting a golden calf, while other parsons grovel on their knees

Abstract:
An engraving, in which a coach marked "Perkin" carries the Pretender, who is holding a mask and leaning out of the window as he cheers his supporters. The King of France is the coachman; the Pope is a postilion. A monk with the banner "Inquisition" is a running footman as the Devil and two monks hang on behind also as footmen. A band of Scotsmen carry a banner "Slavery". The coach has driven over a clergyman, a lawyer with "Magna Carta", and the figure of Britannia who has dropped her purse and papers inscribed with representations of property -- Leases, Bank, Exchequer, South Sea, India, and Mortgage. In the background, a monk oversees the burning of a martyr as a party of monks kneel before a cross. Several bodies hang from a triangular-shaped gallows. The setting is a town square formed by York Minster, St. James's Palace, and the Admiralty Building, Westminster
