763. His face was also shown me, such as it appeared to those whom he terrifies. Indeed, it was no face, but something most black; only his mouth was distended so dreadfully and ferociously that it was rather a gaping gullet in which there appeared rows of teeth, in a word, he was like a mad dog with distended gaping jaws. It was not a face, but gaping jaws. 1748, Feb. 13.
