Bedford says: "Hark'ee, old double Face, - its no use use [sic] for you to stand Jawing there, if you gull other people, you won't bother us out a single Shilling, with all your canting-rant, - no, no, it wo'nt do, old Humbug! - let them bribe you, who are afraid of you, or want your help, - your Gossip wont do here: -" Burke wears the red and blue of the Windsor uniform, his dress is tattered, one foot protrudes through his shoe. In his right hand is a sheaf of broadsides: 'Last Dying Speech of Old Honesty the Jesuit' [cf. BMSat 6026, &c.]. On his back is a sack inscribed '£4000 pr Annum' indicating his two pensions.
