Charles Lamb writes that the chimney swepers are like clergy in that they "sport their cloth without assumption; and from their little pulpits (the tops of chimneys), in the nipping air of a December morning, preach a lesson of patience to mankind." In other words, he believes that the chimney sweepers are wholly devoted to their humble purpose, which is important for the people of the city, and they follow similar rituals as the priests at the church.
