Title from item.
Four lines of verse below, in two columns: Poor Beast thy Zeal has thrown thee Down / While Crafty Reynard gains the ground / Thus Skilfull jockey bears the prize away / and Art not Merit wins the day.
Inserted as item 195 into an album of collected prints, broadsides, drawings, and miscellaneous single sheet items, assembled by former owner Joseph Ames and entitled "Emblematical and satirical prints on persons and professions" (PML 145850).
Print shows two clerics, probably intended to represent John Wesley and George Whitefield, one mounted on a fox (Wesley), the other on a donkey (Whitefield), running a race for a bag suspended above a doorway and labeled "Poors Bag"; the fox is ahead and his rider prepares to seize the prize, saying, "The Div'l take the hindmost", as the donkey founders behind them to his rider's distress. Beneath the fox's feet lie two volumes labeled, "The Whole Duty of Man" and "Br. Tillotson's Works"; while beneath the horse and his rider lies "Predestination Sermon". In the foreground at left, an older woman with a crutch lifts her hands, saying "Bung your eye" while at right, a dog urinates on a copy of "Whitefield's journal".
