See No. 15573. Grey (left) and Thomson (right) are on the ground. The former, with a hypocritical smile, turns his head in profile to look at his enemy, saying, '"Poor man! he will say any thing but | "his prayers" But "I am not his judge, | "nor will I be his accuser; yet, | "in pity, my soul breathes | "the prayer, "The Lord rebuke him!!"' Beside him are a paper signed 'Anglicanus' and a pen (thus attributing the authorship to Grey, see No. 15574). Thomson: 'your Treachery has brought me to this! | "Wicked fool, gratitude for undeserved favours" | "is not in your catalogue of virtues!!!' Beside him are a pen and a book: 'Christian Instructor Febv 1828 N° CCXI'. Between the combatants is the 'Apocrypha', open at 'Maccabees'. Behind them stand two fashionably dressed worldlings; one says: 'Tom religion is all a humbug, ehe why should those two great guns of the gospel, so completely disreguard its precepts?' The other: 'It certainly looks as if it were all a fudge. If it is not, you will admit that Mr. Christian Instructor and that whining animal Anglicanus are a disgrace to our Church! But baring [sic] religion, they have forfeited all claims to the character of gentlemen. They are now completely floored and are benath [sic] contempt.'  1828
