About the Dragon, discussed earlier [2017-18 and sporadically], it was observed that when in fear, and consequently in thought about all he has coming to him, in that state of mind he is sorry, and grieves, and wants to return to his senses, groans, acts sad, as is read of the Jews when in captivity and afflicted by their enemies. But the moment he comes out of that state, he returns to himself and is like himself, doing nothing but stirring up and scheming evil against everything to do with faith. From him as their father and from his seed, such people derive [this character], the Jews especially, whose father he is. 1748, 20 June.
