Summary:
Print shows Thurlow as a barefooted penitent draped in a sheet, but wearing his Chancellor's wig, approaching a coffee-house bar (left) at which stands a pretty young woman. He is followed by a bishop who holds an open book, saying, "Thou shalt not Commit Adultery". Above their heads is a candelabra. Within the enclosed recess which forms the back of the bar punch-bowls, an urn, coffee-pot, &c, are ranged on shelves. On its semicircular counter are tea-things and a coffee-pot. Cf. BM Satires.
