As described in the Gospel of St. Luke Chapter X, verse 30, a Samaritan is shown ministering to a traveler who had been beaten, robbed, and left half dead along the road. A priest and a Levite who ignored the injured man are shown on the left in the background. On the right, the Samaritan's white horse is tethered to a branch near a stream; a waterfall flows from high cliffs also on the right.

In an outdoor setting, Charles Fox, with a fox's head, and Lord North, both kneeling, supplicate Edmund Burke for absolution, in Fox's words, of the "sins not yett committed." Lord North, having confessed that his "sins are manifold and grievious," promises to submit to Burke's "holy injuctions & drink small beer all my life time." Burke, dressed in a monastic garb and biretta, his right hand raised in the act of benediction, points with his left one to the steep hill in front of him, on top of which stands gallows with a body hanging from it, and directs Fox and North to "go & sin no more ..." Behind Burke is another steep hill with a cross on top and a kneeling figure next to it.

"Custine stands on the scaffold beside the guillotine (left). Four ragged ruffians are about to bind him to the plank on which he is to lie; one says, "By Gar so we will serve all de Generals who do not conquer de whole World, and give them de Libertè". Custine says, "Pardon me Heaven for having been leagued with such a set of Blood hounds". A stout soldier pushes a weeping priest, who says "Let us Pray", down the steps (right) which lead up to the scaffold, saying, "Go to de diable & Your Prayers both". Below (right) stand republican soldiers with fixed bayonets much caricatured. On the extreme left a man kneels at the guillotine holding his hat in place of the usual basket; he says, "Begar I will have a Drink of de blood.""--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
A broadside, anti-Jacobite, anti-Catholic and anti-French. The illustration portrays a coat of arms, flanked by a priest and a Highlander; below the etching in letterpress are three columns beginning with the text: "The explanation." The lilies of the French Royal arms changed to upside down frogs and the legitimacy of the Stewart line questioned by the inclusion of the bed-pan child over the priest's shoulder. The text begins: "The three toads are the French Old Coat of Arms, their heads downward, in a sable fields; the coat revers'd denotes treason in perfection. The supporters are a Popish priest on one side in his habit, with a warming-pan on his shoulder, with the lid open and a young child in it. In his right hand is a bloody pen-knife in a posture ready privately to execute the cruelty their religion teaches them to exercise on Protestants ...
