Description
A man in conversation with a clergyman. The man on the left is sitting in a wooden chair, and lifts his hand to emphasise his point. He says: "After all there is nothing like the true old orthodox principles."
He addresses this to a very fat clergyman, sitting in an armchair on the right, who replies: "Orthodox principles - ah my dear friend - you put me in mind of old times - when I was but a simple vicar how I used to charm my congregation - slim as a bedles wand - & delicate as a new wash'd surplice, - but since I have been raised to higher dignities, I do nothing but remain in my chair, bulky and unweildy [sic] as a Folio Church Service, - oh how elegantly I used to manage my discourses - fifteen minutes to a point - by the clock under the gallery - never exceeded - short prayer, - text, - and devision, one two three & away, - that was my method."
