    Lambasting the sham-Catholic parsons of the Anglican ritualist movement, suggests that the 'preachers of mock Popery in their gaudy vestments figure / As like to Popish priests as a gorilla is to a nigger'. Adds that 'The Ritualist impostor by the normal Roman "missioner" / Is looked on as a Quack by a regular practitioner'.
