that class who are possessed of perpetuities of upwards of One Thousand Pounds yearly after a deduction of two thousand pounds principal money for each of his or her children except the eldest son who should have 200l yearly from the age of 21 and the remainder at his father's death except 200l yearly to the widow if a widow should be Religion and the bare necessaries of life are such total strangers to the lower class of people that they are always looking for a change in the government favourable to a total annihilation of the wealthy and the wealthy on the other hand believe keeping the poor in profound pove●ty and darkness the best way to keep them quiet but it is not and only resembles a fire to be quenched by putting dry fuel on it which will make it burn more violent oppression always terminates in human slaughter though the fire may be a century kindling or centuries it is better for the wealthy lose a liable voluntarily than lose all with the loss of life i●voluntarily like a death bed repentance which God does not listen to for what man worth five ten or twenty thousand pounds yearly in the hands of a banditti of assassins would not give it all for his life Here follows the preventative take a poor man and settle him in a comfortable situation making him pay or fecure a reasonable valuation then see what family he has and for himself wife and children abate twenty shillings yearly each on the following terms give him the book called the new testament and then say do you and your family read this as often as ye are at leisure and whilst you perform its contents I will keep you in the comfortable place I have given but no longer wealthy one you must do more establish a school in your parish or neighbourhood and pay the teacher also and thus do ye wealthy ones with all the poor and idolatry goes to destruction the poor will all love you and God will love you the poor will revolt at the idea of invasion or revolution or any change that should di●comfit their comfort Or if you will not do this subscribe a million of guineas and all people you suspect for wishing your overthrow give them a guinea an head to each in their families to go to America But this last advice will not prevent an invasion it would be only a foolish act of charity that God reqnires besides it wonld depopulate the nation and lessen the rent roll then would the wealthy cry out O my rent roll my rent roll is not half what it was but God will answer O thy rent roll has shut thee out eternally from me thou did not send my messenger among the nations that is to distribute the new testament among the poor thou did not propagate the gospel You will say your Ministers did propagate the gospel but the Lord will say your Ministers are ordained with human forms but my Ministers are ordained with the Holy Ghost from the foondations of the world but ye and your Ministers persecute them and perhaps he will even say ye have also called yourselves Lords and great ones who are but earth which names and titles are for me only and how can you look in my face EXTRACTS FROM DUPATY'S TRAVELS IN ITALY IN my way to the capitol I met a coach in which were two recollet Friars the one seated backwards the other forwards holding between their legs something I could not distinguish Every one stopped and saluted with profound respect I asked to whom this reverence was addressed It is answered one of the standers-by to the Bambino which these good Fathers are carrying to a Prelate who is very ill and given over by his physicians I afterwards procured an explanation what this Bambino was The Bambino is a little wooden Jesus richly dressed and ornamented The Convent which has the good fortune to possess this image neither has nor needs any other patrimony As soon as any person who can afford the expence is seriously ill they send for the Bambino and always in a coach for he never goes on foot Two Recollets conduct and place him by the sick man where they remain at his expence until he dies or recovers The Bambino is constantly running about they sometimes fight who shall have him at the gate of the Convent and tear him from each other in the Summer especially he has extraordinary business though he makes them pay very dearly for his visits on account of the demand and the hot weather This is but fair THE progress insolence and intolerable tyranny of the church of Rome is now become of serious consideration and publick complaint the establishment of which will infallibly be the destruction of church state laws liberties properties and lives The Protestant writers ever since the Revolution have frequently and effectually exposed and confuted this pernicious doctrine calculated to plunder and rob the ignorant and illiterate to whom only the Church of Rome pretends to be the mother and mistress of all churches and domineers the vulgar and wicked into that belief or faith always exerting her tyranny to continue them in the grossest darkness and from a knowledge of the Gospel light from generation to generation The Pope always imposes a belief on the ignorant that he is successor to Christ St. Peter c. and such blasphemy and none can be saved but his subjects and eating of all the luxuries and dainties in the world on a friday or saturday sends people to Heaven except meat which sends to Hell but all his wicked doctrines being contrary to that of Christ he takes ●are the gospel light shall be kept from them as long as he can well knowing a general knowledge of it would destroy his craft as St. Paul did that of Alexander the Copper-Smith FINIS

THE STRANGE AND WONDERFUL PREDICTIONS OF Mr. CHRISTOPHER LOVE Minister of the Gospel at Laurence Jury London WHO WAS BEHEADED ON TOWER-HILL IN THE TIME OF Oliver Cromwell's Government of England GIVING AN ACCOUNT OF BABYLON'S FALL And in that Glorious Event A GENERAL REFORMATION OVER ALL THE WORLD With a most Extraordinary PROPHECY OF THE LATE REVOLUTION IN FRANCE AND THE Downfall of the Antichristian Kingdom In that Country BY M. PETER JURIEU ALSO NIXON's CHESHIRE PROPHECY LONDON PRINTED FOR THE BOOKSELLERS TO THE PUBLIC THE following Prophecies some of which have been accomplished in our own time must appear interesting and as such we publish them those of Mr. LOVE promise great events which must happen before the present generation passes away and as to Monsieur JURIEU's predictions relative to the French Revolution they point out so clearly part of what has already come to pass in France that it may be reasonably presumed the rest will be verified in due time PREDICTIONS OF Mr. CHRISTOPHER LOVE A FEW nights after he was sentenced to be b●●eaded on Tower-hill which was on the 22d day of August 1651 ten days before his appointed time by the sentence he received at the bar being one night visited by two of his intimate acquaintances or bosom friends as he himself called them they began to complain of the cruelty of the times and the malice and usage of time-serving brethren to which Mr. Love answered And think you this is an evil time No no this is the very time when grace and true god●iness can be distinguished f●om hypocrisy many have followed Christ hitherto for the loaves and are now turned back for the roughness of the way and the sore trial and tribulation which others met with who are gone be●ore them There are many in London at this very day who think to go to heaven in their gilded coaches and have denied Christ's cause before men against whom I now witness and Christ in his never failing word has promised to deny all such before his father and the holy angels This is the time to discern be●ween him that s●rveth God and him that serveth him not They formerly were my familiar acq●ain●ance in fellowship and sweet converse I sent this day to have a few words with them here in prison but they would not come for their countenance is fallen their consciences wounded they cannot look me in the face because I knew of their resolution and was a witness to their perjuration But ah how will they look the blessed Jesus in the face in the morning of the resurrection what answer or excuse will they have for what they have done O foolish people who think to escape the cross nay you must all suffer persecution who follow the Lamb we must be hated of all nations for Christ's sake we must come thro' great tribulation thro' the fiery furnace of affl●ction before we can enter the land of joy and felicity Know ye not that the souls that were slain for the testimony of Jesus are placed under the altar Happy happy are those men at this day and ever shall be happy who suffer for Christ's sake in a right and charitable way thro' love to his cause and honesty of heart not thro' pride and hypocrisy without the root of the matter to have it said they died 〈◊〉 these are they who will miss their mark and those who denied the call and looked back shall never have the honour to find it I am now pointed out by many to be in a destitute and forlorn condition but I would not exchange my state no not for all the glory that 's on the earth I find my R●deemer's love stronger in my bonds than ever I did in the days of my liberty therefore I hold living here as death itself I am as full of love and joy in the Holy Spirit as ever bo●●le was fi●led with new wine I am ready to cry out The spirit of the Lord is upon me I will not take upon me to prophecy neve●theless the spirit of the Lord causeth me to utter This usurped authority of Cromwell shall shortly be at an end England shall be blessed with meek Kings and mild governments powerful preachers and dull hearers good sermons to them will be as music to a sleepy man they shall hear but not understand nor lay the word 〈◊〉 the heart to practise it in their lives to walk by it O England thou shalt wax old in wickedness thy sins abound like those of Sodom thy voluptuousness shall cry aloud for vengeance the Lord shall threaten and chastise thee yet in mercy and love will he look upon those that fear him and call upon his name he will spare of his anger when the wicked shall be sifted from amongst you as the chaff is sifted from amongst the wheat for out of thee O England shall a bright star arise whose light and voice shall make the heathen to quake and knock under with submission to the gospel of Jesus he shall be as a sound of thunder in the ears of the wicked and as a ●anthorn to the Jews to lead them to the knowledge of Jesus the only son of God and true Messiah whom they so long mistrusted for the short work spoken of by the apostle which the Lord is to make upon the earth in the latter age of the world cannot be far off Observe my dear friend while you live my calculation of the dates in the book of the Revelation and in Daniel which the Spirit of the Lord led me into for the Lord will reveal it to some of his own ere that time come for the nearer the time is the seals shall be taken away and more and more shall be revealed to God's people for the Lord doth nothing without he reveal it by his Spirit to his servants the prophets He destroyed not the old world without the knowledge of Noah He did not overthrow Sodom and Gomorrah without the knowledge of Abraham I do not mean now that any new prophet shall arise but the Lord by his Spirit shall cause knowledge to abound among his people whereby the old prophecies shall be clearly and perfectly understood And I die in that thought and really believe that my calculations are right on the Revelation by St. John and the prophecy which St. Jerome copied off and translated out of the Hebrew language as it is written on Seth's pillar in Damascus which pillar is said to have stood since before the flood and was built by Seth Adam's son and written by Enoch the prophet as likewise the holy precepts whereby the patriarch walked before the law was given to Moses which were also engraven on the said pillar whereof many Jews have copies in their own language written on parchment and engraven on brass and copper but the alteration of the date makes them to stagger at it not knowing that the dates were to be altered by the birth of Christ.
