Through the streets and alleyways of Nineveh, the prophet Jonah trudged. At every marketplace and city gate he joyously proclaimed his tidings of God's wrath: "forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned!" Two and a half millennia after the great fish vomited Jonah back onto dry land, William Blake faithfully follows that path of bilge and seaweed, bile and gall, into the fraternity of prophets and oracles.

The twelve summoned at that time took an oath that they would not give false evidence, nor knowingly conceal the truth; and by knowledge, says Glanvilb was meant what they had seen or heard by trustworthy information, and this shows most clearly how entirely they were looked upon as mere witnesses, and how different the idea of their duties then was from what it is now.9 Thus we see that jurors founded their verdict on their personal knowledge of the facts in dispute, without hearing the evidence of witnesses in court. ...
