Summary

Print shows William Markham, Archbishop of York speaking to Britannia while gesturing toward British troops wearing clerical bands and low-brimmed hats, he says, "Madam a noble Corps, True and Staunch Friends to the Cause, have learned their Exercises at the Loyal Schools at Oxford" to which Britannia responds, "This Gate is not ye Door to your Master's Sheepfold, he that entereth not by ye Door is a thief & robber. I will not trust you, you would ruin my Constitution & tear my Cap."
