"The heart of man is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things." Man could never have penetrated Napoleon's secret will; but he survived, to prove his fate was just, at the hands of God, to die, exiled from his wife and child, away from the scenes where he had acted, insensibly, as God's scourge against idolators.

Historians will hand the truth down to Christians, who must "beat their swords into ploughshares," and hail the Millenium of universal paradise restored on earth, for God can never allow satan's to exceed Christ's kingdom in number. Hence, infants, snatched from this world, are members in heaven, doubtless exceeding the number of old and hardened sinners, who die without repentance, or considering Christ's salvation worth asking for. Alas!

While I have travelled above three years from Genesis to Revelation to discover exactly who and what “the BEAST" is, I find the beast proclaims himself as clearly as any doctors or legislators having large brass door-plates, or publicans with large signs !!!

Rome will surely sink, like Sodom and Gomorrah, very soon, with all princes, priests, and people, who support "the abomination of desolation." Heathens were never worse than Christians now.

Mr. Robert Fleming published a book in 1701, which was republished in 1793, when the editor added a most wonderful and horrible thing in Christendom, which has inoculated England *, viz. :

"The title which the popes of Rome have assumed, and caused to be inscribed over the VATICAN door, exactly makes the number 666, when decyphered according to the numerical and literal amount of the letters composing their title." Vide lege et crede.

*I have to thank a particular friend who providentally lent me that book just in time for the press, it being most momentous to all who wish to escape the pit into which every heathen must soon go down ALIVE, with the beast.

VICARIVS FILII DEI.

5. 1.100.

1. 5.

1. 50. 1. 1.

500. 1.

which, added, form the number 666, or DCLVVIIIIII.

"Here is wisdom. Let him who hath understanding count the number of THE BEAST, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666." Rev. xiii.

Hence there is no doubt the pope is the monster or beast, and, as if to fulfil Christ's prophecy, it is stuck up over the door, who said, "Eyes have they and see not, ears have they and hear not:" in other words, it is both questionable and prophetic. Have they eyes and see not? have they ears and hear not? Ecce homo.

In the nineteenth century Christendom falls into idolatry, in spite of the clearest" testimony of Jesus, which is the spirit of prophecy," therefore is she unpardonably guilty, and will surely be swallowed up quick, before 1832 or 1848; but who can tell what a day may bring forth?

In 1564 the pope added twelve articles to our Christian creed, of twelve articles, so they have doubled the number, and confounded the original creed so artfully that millions are deceived daily.

"The beast-mystery-Babylon the Great-the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth the great whore,” has seven heads and ten horns (as spoken of by Daniel) stamped with blasphemy continually.

There are also two other most wonderful and horrible things committed in Christendom by princes, priests, and people. First, the Jews acknowledge the OLD Testament, especially Daniel's prophecy, without seeing that Christ is come. Second, the papists believe the divinity of the NEW Testament and Revelation, without seeing how unchristian their church is.

While I wonder at the blindness of the Jews and papists, in these respects, I admire God's wisdom in making use of them all to confirm the old prophecies, rendering

them standing monuments of the old and new covenant prophecies, or infallible landmarks and compasses!!!

Romish popes and priests profess to live in celibacy, in direct opposition to the laws of God and nature.

Pope Gregory VII. A. D. 1076, forbade priests' marriage, after 300 years' contention, by his predecessors, for that point. A greater abomination cannot exist against God.

"A priest shall not take a wife that is a whore or profane, neither a woman put away from her husband, for he is holy unto God. He shall take a wife in her virginity. The daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire." Lev. xxi.

Here are the reasons why Romans conceal original Bibles, which Christ commands us to search. Having convicted popes of one great error, I could convict them of scores, which Romans admire, but if one fails, scores fail. On 15 March, 1830, the pope held a secret consistory in the vatican, and nominated nineteen bishops for all parts of the world. He appointed three cardinals, and intends to make eight more. The pope appointed B. Fenwick, of Maryland, a Roman Catholic bishop of Boston, in America (vice Dr. Taylor); consecrated 1 Nov. 1825.

At Perpignan, a meteor, equal to a full moon, lately passed from east to west over the town, and exploded like thunder, at the end of its course, according to printed reports; but what reliance can be placed on newspapers?

The press has contributed more to the delusion and depravity practised in the nineteenth century, than will ever be by many discovered till too late, I fear. I sent the title of this book to nearly all the religious magazines, but it is not inserted by one editor in the usual catalogue.

"Via ad bonos mores nunquam sera est," appears a false maxim. If the world followed popes and priests, the laws of God and man would be annihilated.

"In the last days perilous times shall come. Men shall be selfish, proud, covetous, blasphemers, boasters, disobedient to parents, unnatural, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, despisers of good men, traitors, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from all such turn away" [0, Christians]. Timothy.*

"The slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; they shall not be lamented, nor gathered, nor buried; they shall be as dung on the ground." Jer. xxv.

"Their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung. Shall women eat their fruit, children a span long? The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the

vengeance of the Lord." Separate yourselves from this [heathen] congregation, that I [Christ] may consume them in a moment." Numb. xvi. 21.

All Christendom cry peace, peace; but God's signal is given, that "when kingcraft, priestcraft, and people cry peace and safety,' then cometh swift destruction." 1 Ep. Thess. v. 3. We see this fulfilled Now; for after fourteen years' peace PROCLAIMED in Europe, Mahomet's fleet is suddenly annihilated by his three Christian allies, and his dominions invaded by Russia in the east!!

"The defenders of the faith" are altogether confounded. The Roman, Jewish, and Turkish defenders of the faith are all active and alarmed. Christendom, alias devildom, may be invaded and destroyed, like rotten Greece and Turkey, without unanimity, which is naturally impossible. Churches and empires divided cannot stand.

It is reported there are above 13,000 cotton weavers, &c. at and near Huddersfield, receiving, on an average, the miserable pittance of two pence halfpenny a day.

The debt's our millstone, running round;
The rich escape, the poor are ground.

ED.

The poors' rates are about eight millions, collected annually.

Six or seven millions are deposited in savings banks, by poor servants,

&c. giving proofs of prosperity and folly.

Forty millions are locked in Chancery, for the benefit of posterity, while I know many suitors starving, alas!

Nearly 6000 years men have been called by millions of miracles, to execute CHRISTIAN peace, mercy, truth, and justice; but Christians, Romans, Turks, and Jews, prefer cruel wars, falsehood, and injustice towards their brethren, and will not hear the voice of conscience, even the charmer, Christ.

There is more confusion between men about FAITHS, than there was at Babel! Therefore, divine majesty must remove blasphemers, liars, gluttons, drunkards, adulterers, fornicators, oppressors, warriors, misers, slanderers, extortioners, usurers, &c. by every angry element, in order to restore paradise to human nature (like Adam and Eve, in original innocence), for Christ will write his laws in every heart, and then all will be perfectly alive, equal to Adam's resurrection from the dead, as appears promised to all prodigal sons and daughters. This glorious change is at hand, even at the door, as Christ told all his disciples how they might KNOW it.

Let infidels destroy infidels till the earth be purged and purified, and no man left alive unwilling to beat swords into ploughshares, and spears into pruning hooks; and then succeeding generations "shall learn war no more."

"Behold rich bishops; how priests play their parts,
Christians by name, but heathens in their hearts;
All saints in office, misers in their plan;

Some slaves at court, sometimes the lady's man."

COWPER.

Murray's" Sermons to Asses, Doctors, and Ministers of State," contain gospel lessons cast like pearls before swine. Magna est veritas et prevalebit.* Murray's prose exceeds Cowper's Poems.

"We can safely aver, that over the morals and religion of young men, who go to Cambridge from school, there is no other check than what may arise from the deficiency of money or credit. Chapel is a bugbear, and a mockery to the pious. Divinity lectures are sleepy forms.

"After a time, students, who intend to assume holy orders, draw up a little on the eve of it, and assume more regular and serious habits.
