A very scarce imprint, either published with the date in error, or a later printing. A bit irrelevant as both are impossibly rare, not traced in the trade or at auction. The work elicited a response from the Presbyterians, essentially saying, "We're not Dagon! You're Dagon, you filthy free-willers." 

A very rare Ohio imprint. The pair together representation an most unusual theological battle royale in the form of duelling satirical poems.
