The interior of a church: Fox preaching, North as clerk sitting beneath him. Fox (right) in a high pulpit bends forward gesticulating with an expression of unctuous melancholy; he wears a plain coat and bands. North sits in the clerk's desk immediately under the pulpit, leaning back with folded hands. Both are directed to the left. A barrier separates the pulpit from the congregation; within it in profile to the left stands Sheridan, as pew-opener, taking a coin from a young woman whom he is ogling; she looks aside demurely. Kneeling devoutly with his elbows on the barrier, immediately opposite North, is Burke as an elderly woman in cap and cloak, wearing spectacles. In the background is a square pillar supporting two arches which are partly visible. In front of the pillar are members of the congregation. Beneath the design is etched:
<p><br><br>'How spruce will N------th beneath thee sit!
<br>With Joy officiate as thy Clark! 
<br>Attune the Hymn, renounce his Wit,
<br>And carol like the Morning Lark!
<br><br>To Comick Richard, ever true,
<br>Be it assign'd the Curs to lash, 
<br>With ready Hand to ope the Pew,
<br>With ready Hand to take the Cash.
<br><br>For thee, O beauteous and sublime!
<br>What Place of Honour wilt thou find ? 
<br>To tempt with Money were a Crime;
<br>Thine are the Riches of the Mind.
<br><br>Clad in a Matron's Cap and Robe, 
<br>Thou shalt assist each wither'd Crone;
<br>And, as the piercing Threat shall probe, 
<br>Be't thine to lead the choral Groan!
<br>St James's Chrone Octr 21'  2 November 1784
