An allegory of the French wars of religion, with the Catholic church as a galleon with different factions attempting to gain control as they sail across the sea away from the world of flesh and towards the City of God. On the way, they harvest the faithful, who join them in the ship, while fending of the attacks of the deady sins and of heretics. The king of France and the Pope are both in the lifeboat behind the galleon. This is a reversed copy of an etching by Jean Michel Moreau le jeune, in turn a copy of a vast painting (10 x 20 feet, probably painted in 1613) discovered in the Jesuit College at Billom in Auvergne in 1762, when the Jesuit order was being dissolved in France. It was taken to Paris for investigation and a report was published on the 15th July 1763. It is now in the French National Archives.

Two satires on the ''Sabbath Obervance Bill'', introduced to the Commons in 1833, from 'The Political Drama', a series of 131 satires produced between 1833 and 1835 by Charles Jameson Grant (1830-52, fl.). A cat is hanging from a tree outside St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics in Old Street, London, condemned by a man dressed as a Quaker, with a tartan cloak. The on-lookers call him a 'Merry Andrew' (i.e. a person who amuses others by ridiculous behavior), believing him to be a resident of the building behind (renamed St Andrew's). The Quaker has a number of petitions and bills under his arm. Between 1830 and 1847 the M.P. for Wigtownshire, Sir Andrew Agnew, introduced four bills to the House of Commons attempting to enforce the better Observance of the Sabbath. On his third attempt Charles Dickens wrote 'Sunday Under Three Heads' (1836), a personal attack on Agnew, whom he described as a fanatic, motivated by resentment of the idea that those poorer than himself might have any pleasure in life. Agnew left Parliament in 1837, ending the campaign.
