The Church Militant. See M.r Pennant's literary life. P.21.
[c.1793.]
Mezzotint with etching, with hand colour. 250 x 200mm (9¾ x 8"). Folded as issued. Small margins.
A man dressed half as a soldier, half as a parson, the soldier saying 'Come Jolly Bacchus God of Wine!', the parson 'Hear Me O Lord for I am poor & needy. A paper on the left is a tailor's final demand. From Pennant's autobiography (first published 1793), satirising what he calls ''the unguarded admission of persons of the most discordant professions into the sacred pale, who, urged by no other call than that of poverty, do not prove either ornamental or useful in their new character''.
