A fat divine stumbles backward as dogs fight in the foreground. A seller at right is alarmed as he threatens to fall onto her table. "The College Gate": Three men ride off in different directions after coming through a gate with square brick pillars surmounted by stone vases. Behind the left rider walks a fat divine wearing an academic cap.

"Promenaders in Hyde Park illustrate these titles. [1] A dandy walks, right to left, jauntily rakish, holding a lorgnette and glove in a gloved hand. He wears a large bell-shaped top-hat, beneath which projects a great tuft of curled hair. Under his arm is a rolled umbrella. [2] A Quaker, in a shallow broad-brimmed hat, walks primly (right to left) with a young (twin) daughter on each arm. He holds a large gamp umbrella, fastened and point downwards. [3] A thin man wearing a long greatcoat and seedy top-hat, walks (left to right) with an expression of acute melancholy. He trails behind him an unfastened umbrella. He faces heavy wind and slanting rain. Beside him is a small dead tree. Near each is an appropriate dog."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two very tall and lank Englishmen walk arm-in-arm in profile to the left; one grasps a big (red) umbrella, and looks down at a dog. Before them walks a dwarfish man holding a tall cane, perhaps a servant, but dressed in the fashion of the day apart from striped trousers. Behind walks a second couple, shorter, broader, and more cheerful. All have flower-pot hats, and all double-breasted long-tailed coats, except one of the second pair, who wears top-boots. The others wear either long tight trousers or tight gaiters reaching above the knee. Two have large bows suspended from their fobs, to which seal and watch-key are attached. Three wear neckcloths with projecting ends."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
A satire on the puritanical message of strictly observing the Sabbath. A puritan stands on a barrel marked 'St. Andrew', his arms held out making a cross. He cries: "Clear the streets of all evil doers - Remember ye keep severely strict the Sabbath day. 6 days and nights shall thou labour & do all that thou can get to do: but the 7th day is the Sabbarh of the Bishops according to law, and of the Ranters, and the Jumpers, and the Pantilers, and the Devildodgers and the Muggletonians and the Sawney Kirkmen and the Believers in the Unknown Tongues and the Irvins and the Spencer Percivals and the Agnews and the Mawworms and the Welllingtons and the Miguels and the Nickolas's and all the Whigs and Tories. In it thou shalt do no manner of work, thou & thy son & thy daughter & thy servant & thy dog & thy cat & thy horse & thy ass. Neither shall thou eat, drink, sleep, run, walk, nor talk under the penalties of fine confiscation, excommunication, carceration, starvation & D-nnation." Surrounding him are rotund puritans carrying clubs attack people going about their Sunday business. In the lower left one of the puritans raises a club over his head ready to strike a pig and saying, " Sacriligous monster to dare to eat on the blessed Sabbath." Above along the left edge, a thinner Puritan in a tall hat with an outstretched hand and a raised club stops a couple carrying a suitcase and bag and demands, "Hollo here! Where ar you going to on a Sunday." They reply, "Why for a bit of a jaunt in the Gravesend Steamer to be sure. It's the only day we can get out for a bit of hair. I'm afeard the wessel's off afore now, so don't stop us, man." In upper left, a Puritan points his stick up at a man sitting in a window, smoking a pipe and cries, "I say what smoke's that comming out of your chimney. You have been either blowing the fire or else you'r boiling summut. Put out the fire instantly or - - - - !!!" In the center of the sheet, a Puritan with club raised, pulls at the box of a young boy causing the tankards to spill out; he says, " Let go you wicked wrtech, to carry out beer on a Sunday." In the center foreground, a Purtain with a very large nose looks down a grate in the street and observes " There's some evil a brewing down here. Aye, as I'm a sinner if there isn't some new ale & yeast with it too. Now I should't be at all surprised if the yeast & the ale ain't a working togeather." In the center, a very fat Puritan with a bottle in his pocket grabs a very thin man by the neck and shakes his club as he asks, "Now young man what's the reason you a'n't at Chappel." To which the poor man replies, " Vy, sir, I'm going to the docters for some fizic for the bowel complaint." His accoster replies, "Well, you must to morrow because if you take it to day no doubt it'll work." On the right, a couple of puritans with guns shoot at a thin dog who runs from them, dropping his bone; the one says, " Shoot the infidel, he's got a bone." in the right foreground, another large Puritan with a Bible in his pocket grabs a thin man by the collar, "Sinner drop that toad in a hole." In the upper right, two puritans pull passengers from a carriage while another two stop the horses from the front. The coachman brandishing a whip, calls out "I say you cunting hypocrits, jist let go my horses or I'm bless'd if I don't luy this here vip on ye back."
