![[John Horne Tooke] The Apostate Parson.](jpegs/61149.jpg)
[John Horne Tooke] The Apostate Parson. [It] is true I have Suffer'd the infectious hand of a Bishop to be wav'd over me, whose Imposition like the Sop given to Judas is only a Signal for the Devil to enter. [&c].
[Publish'd as the Act directs April 14th 1772, by W. Darling, Engraver, Great Newport Street.]
Etching. Sheet 195 x 240mm (7¾ x 9½") Trimmed, losing either end of secondary title and publication line.
A bishop, standing behind an altar-rail, holds out both hands over the head of a kneeling clergyman. One demon kneels on the ground beside the latter, while another has crept under his cassock. Behind is a trunk, with a list of expensive clothes. A satire on the ordination of John Horne Tooke, quoting a letter of his to Wilkes in 1766. The trunk of clothes is one Tooke sent to Wilkes in Paris: after they quarrelled Tooke accused Wilkes of pawning them.
