Notes: B.L. and NUC each enter under title and describe this pamphlet as a satire on Dryden, with extracts from both of the poems cited on the title-page. Gillen describes Dryden's 'The Hind and the Panther' thus: 'It is written in the form of a dialogue betweena milk-white hind and a spotted panther, representing respectively the Catholic Church and the Church of England. This poem was immediately assailed by the wits of the day ... It was also attacked by a variety of pamphlets ... ', one of which was 'The Revolter', [and Dryden's]''Religio Laici', reprinted and carefully opposed to the various passages of 'The Hind and the Panther' which appeared most contradictory to its tenets ... '.

John Genest, in "Some Account of the English Stage from ... 1660 to 1830" enters this as a play printed, but not acted, and states: 'this Trage-Comedy is so far from having any thing to do with the stage, that it is not even in dialogue-the author easilyproves that Dryden has contradicted himself, but the pamphlet is not written with either spirit or humour'.
