Abstract:
"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

"The interior of a church. Archbishop Markham (left) delivering a charge to his clergy. He stands (left) within the chancel rails; in his left hand he holds up a flaming torch; in his right hand, which rests on a balustrade, he holds a birch-rod and a paper inscribed "Factious C--y--n. [Countrymen], A Lamentable Want of Sobriety, Foremost in mischief. This is no Gainfull Traffick - Nonresistance &c. Explain'd. Vide my Sermon. Charity Thinketh no Evil &c. A perfectly detestable Faction &c." On the right, in the body of the church, sit clergymen dressed in gown and bands, they listen with varying expressions.

Manuscript on parchment (goatskin) of John Waleys (John of Wales, Iohannes Gallensis), Communiloquium sive summa collationum ad omne genus hominum
Description:
In Latin., Script: Written by a single scribe in Southern Gothica Textualis Libraria which, however, differs from Rotunda by the absence of Textus Praescissus features. A few rubrics are added in Gothica Cursiva, e.g. ff. 63v and 64v. Instructions for the rubricator are written in thin Gothica Cursiva Currens in the lower margins, mostly lost due to trimming., Headings in red. Alternately red and blue paragraph marks. The decoration consists of (1) alternately red and blue flourished initials, 2 lines; (2) flourished litterae duplices, 3-5 lines, at the opening of the Distinctiones; they have marginal extensions ("J-staves") in pen and ink over the full height of the text area; (3) on f. 4r a damaged foliate initial on a gold, red and blue background, containing a hybrid, with floral extensions featuring a hybrid head and a hybrid. On f. 37r there is a coarse pen and ink drawing of a sword in the margin, probably related to a Hermogenes quotation in the text about murder., and Binding: Seventeenth century. Sprinkled brown leather over cardboard, the covers simply decorated with blind fillets. Spine with five raised bands and two gold-tooled red leather title-labels with the inscriptions "MS. VALLENS. COMMUNILOQ." and "TRACT. DE RE PUBLICA." Red edges. The spine was reinforced by means of two strips of parchment from an English archival document (ca. 1500) in which the names William Holborn, Robert Ball "nuper de Letheringham" and others appear.
