- Depiction: On a hill is an abbey church, lighted up with the glory of "King, Church and Constitution". John Bull, standing before the turnpike, is guarding the pathway. On a ledge beside the post is placed a formidable work, the Test Oath. The Pope, with mitre, crozier, and hood, is mounted on his pontifical ass. "Mr. Bull" he says, "I have been to Paris and seen all the fine sights there. I now want to have a peep at that little church on the hill, therefore let me pass the turnpike." J.B. replies: "If you want to go through pay the toll, what the devil do you think I keep a turnpike gate for?" A crowd of dissenters, quakers, &c. in the Pope's rear, are anxious to enjoy the opportunity: "Though I boast not gaudy trappings," says a quaker, "nor am I mounted on ass-back, yet if he goeth through verily I should like to go through also!" "Verily, so should I." "We should all like to go through."
