British rogues' cant from the 17th–18th centuries. 'Autem' was cant for a church, so an 'autem bawler' was a preacher who harangued (bawled) from the pulpit. The phrase carried a mocking, irreverent register, implying the clergyman was all noise and little substance.
The congregation ignored the autem bawler's sermon and dozed through every word.
