A satirical print mocking a scene in the Temple Church, Bristol, where clerics including Joseph Easterbrook, attemped an exorcism on a man named George Lukins, with various attendees expressing concern and support. A ballad seller waves in his right hand a sheet "A miracle or the devil, his own enemy" and in his left hand four sheets with legible titles referencing Elizabeth Canning, the Rabbit Woman, Cock Lane Ghost, and Stockell wonders. A "Methodist Cant" sits on a "Devils Nest" in the lower right as one demon emerges from the egg with a speech balloon "Our Master Hath deceived us, Oh!"
