A tracing of a 1731 print after Hogarth: Satire on Orator Henley and his followers. A view of his Oratory in Clare Market with Henley preaching from an open-air platform in front of the building, one cloven hoof protruding from beneath his robe. A monkey wearing clerical bands holds a rope which is attached to Henley's right hand; a small chest of pills, a medicine bottle and a pamphlet lettered "The Hyp Doctor" lie at his feet. In the foreground is a procession of men, lettered, "Ha!", "Ha!", "Te Hee", "He!" and "Silly Cur"; the latter wearing a laurel wreath is identified by Hawkins as Colley Cibber, and the others, two of whom wear ruffs, may be intended as actors or clowns; a puritan at their head, is urged by Henley's "Scout" towards the door of the Oratory, outside which stands a butcher acting as doorman; inside a man pays a clergyman at "The Treasury". On the extreme left, a man squats defecating on Henley's publications. Behind him a coach bears Folly, holding her bauble, towards an inn with the sign of the dunce's cap; a gallows labelled "Merit" stands beside it and an angel holding a ribbon labelled "Modesty" flies off
