English: A man dressed half as a military officer, half as a bishop, stands with a drawn sword in his right hand, on his left arm is a round shield inscribed "Thirty Nine Articles", with a standard on which is a coat of arms. He wears half a cockaded hat, half a mitre. His right side is dressed in a military coat with epaulette, on his right leg is a spurred top-boot. He wears a gorget round his neck ornamented with the head of Medusa or Discord, with snaky locks. His left side is draped with a black gown and on his left leg is a dark stocking and buckled shoe. Two labels issue from his head, both on the military side, inscribed "In hoc signo vincimus" and "Woe to thee Boston Sword go through the Land".

The escutcheon on the flag is a cross counter-imbattled; dexter chief, a crown and a mitre; dexter base, crossed swords; sinister chief, a mantle; sinister base, crossed keys. The supporters are, dexter, a seven-headed beast, traditionally representing the Church of Rome, cf. BMSat 378, 5534; sinister, a lady fashionably dressed and with her hair in an inverted pyramid surmounted by feathers, cf. BMSat 5370, &c. The motto is "Le Diable defend le tort", and the crest is a mitre supporting a dragon holding a skull.
In the foreground (left) is a drum inscribed "spirit stirring" with a fife and a pair of kettle-drums. On the right. a large organ is partly visible inscribed "soul inspiring". Behind the soldier-bishop is a cannon inscribed "Alliance between Church and State"; from its muzzle issues a label inscribed, "Ecclesiastical Cannon". Behind is the sea with ships of war and a coast-town probably intended for Boston. The title is from Horace, 'Art of Poetry', 5. n.d. 1776?
