Description |
English: A broadside satirising Benjamin Hoadly and High/Low Church disputes. An etching showing Hoadly seated at a desk writing "An Answer to a Sermon publish by Her Ma[hesty's] Com[mand]"; that Sermon lies on the table beside him, lettered "A Sermon pr[eached before Her] Majesty [by] Exon [i.e. the Bishop of Exeter; referring to the sermon of 8 March 1708]", and his crutches lean against the table. To the right, stands Oliver Cromwell, shown as Hoadly's supporter, weilding an axe. On the far wall is a book shelf with the following books: "Burn[et] Past[oral] Letter"; "Har[rington] Oceana"; [Toland] Chryst[ianit]y not Myster[iou]s"; "[Tindal] Rights of ye Chr[istian] Ch[urch]"; "Sydney of Gov[ernmen]t"; "Hobb[e]s Leviathian"; "Milton"; "Lock[e] of Governmen[t]". In the foreground, on the floor to the left lie organ pipes, a mitre, the Book of Common Prayer, a crozier and a bishop's robes; to the right, a small bearded man wearing a cap decorated with ass's ears and snakes playing a large drum. Engraved title and verses in two columns. (n.p.:1709) |

Notes |
The publication line is false, and the broadside was presumably printed in London. Hoadly is shown here writing a reply to a sermon by Offspring Blackall (1654-1716), Bishop of Exeter, which had been published at Queen Anne's command. According to Stephens, the figure with a drum is a schismatic, representing the High Church opinion of Hoadly as both anti-monarchical and schismatic. Stephens describes a second state of the print in which another book is lettered "[Richard] Baxt[er]s. Sh[ove]. to ye H[eavy] Arst C[hristian]"; there is some uncertainty as to whether such a book existed. |

[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. 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. |
