fears your jAW-bone, as an instrument
of warfare. since it proved so terrible
in the hands of Samson, he would
gather his eight fractions unto himself
and hurl the united mass against you
with the force of a thunderbolt from
the hand of Jupiter-or an iron bolt
from the hand of Jew Peter.
Now, Jacky, (vide the Weaver

swears the Image is of the feminine
gender. and Mercury. you kaow, was
not Hermaphrodite, if his name was
Hermes; and Lyon would never toll
crate the Image of such God in his

dove vendors were driven cut OF the
Temple at Jerusalem.
Therefore, your parabolical sym Dol

further says Mercury is the
God of Orators and Rhetoricians.
