Title

Description
English: Satire on Benjamin Hoadly, then rector of St Peter-le-Poer, London, and the High/Low church debate. A scene outside St Paul's Cathedral with a group of clergy under the portico while three workmen demolish the surrounding wall as Hoadly, identifiable by his crutch, and another clergyman approach leading a seven-headed monster bearing axes, gallows,kettle-drums, barrels of gunpowder (?), other instruments of war and a banner lettered "Resistance"; a group of clergy in secular dress follow, two of whom wearing broad-brimmed hats are probably intended as Quakers. 1705-15

Notes Hoadly's doctrine of conditional obedience expressed in a sermon of September 1705 was a Whig gloss on Romans 13: 1, a passage often used by high-churchmen to expound the duties of non-resistance and passive obedience. It brought him to prominence in the debate between High- and Low-Churchmen over the next several years (see ODNB). For Salter's Hall see BM Satires 1262.

[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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
