See No. 15573. Below the title: 'Or the Idol Bel and the Dragon'. Thomson (1.) stands menacingly over Henry Grey, who reclines on the ground, leaning against a tombstone on which a greyhound is depicted with the inscription 'Beth Gelert. The grave of the GRA Y. Hound' [title, used punningly, of a ballad by W. R. Spencer, on Llewellyn's famous dog]. Both ministers wear Geneva gowns with bands. Thomson holds out to his enemy a letter signed 'Anglicanus' and raises above his head a volume of his own 'Christian Instructor'. He says: 'You are the Author of that infamous libel; with this weapon i smite all my enemies. Take that blow for your temerity'. Grey, who weeps, but smiles reproachfully, answers: '/ vow that I am not, Spare me, Spare me!! from another blow, and I shall pray for thee' [see No. 15577].  1828
