Description |
English: A satire on factions within the Church of England. A beast with seven human heads: Richard Baxter a label attached to his neck reading, "A shove to ye heavy arst Christian" (the title of a book supposed to have been written by him); Matthew Tindal, labelled "Rights of ye Christian Ch. asserted"; Benjamin Hoadly, "H - y on Governmt."; a pope, "Solemn League & Covenant"; Daniel Defoe, "Review" (referring to his journal of that name); John Tutchin or George Ridpath, "Observator" (referring to their journal of that name); and, John Toland, "Milton" (referring to his biography of the poet). On the beast's tail sits the Whore of Babylon playing a viola da gamba. To the left, a devil lights a cannon which forms the upper part of the body of the beast and fires daggers and whips at Sacheverell who stands on the right shielding himself with a Bible open at Matthew, XVI.18, "Upon this rock I will build my church". Engraved title, inscriptions, and verses in two columns. ([London: 1709]) |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
