- Abstract
Depicts the side chapel of a cathedral church, evidently intended to be Westminster Abbey, with a split down the middle of it and a divine on either side, one blatantly attacking the building with a pickaxe; the other, trowel in hand, is removing stones more subtly - or is he repairing it? The man on the left represents a Presbyterian and on the right an Independent. Marcus Nevitt suggests that the print may be a response to the Westminster Confession of Faith--Adapted from Jones.
