502. CONCERNING THE DRAGON Today the dragon was again sent for a moment or two into the place of punishment, namely, into the place where there were dragons and serpents. Having been removed thence, in his usual manner he resorted to supplication, and even said that he wanted to be dissolved. In like manner he was sent for a minute beneath the veil, as he himself had sent innumerable others. [See nos. 434-5.] 1748, Jan. 21.
