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
