& FANATICISM.
The famous Mrs. Buchan, is now no
more. She died here about five weeks
ago, much lamented by her deluded vo
taries. Finding the was going the way
of all the earth, she called her different
disciples together, and exhorted them
to continue fteadfaft and unanimous, in
their adherence to the doctrine which
they had received from her. She told
them that she had dill one secret to com
muoicate unto them, which was, That
I lh^ was the Virgin Mary, the real mo
ther of our Lord ! that ffie was the fame
Iwoman mentioned in the Revelation, as
I being clothed with the Sun, &c, who
jwas driven into the wilderness : That
I she had been wandering in the world
1 ever since cur Saviour's days, and for
Ifeme time pass, the had sojourned in
t Scodand: That though she here appeared
todie, they needed net to be discoura
ged, for ihe would only fleep^ little,
and in a short time would again visit
them, and conduct them to the Ned
Jerusalem. A Gentleman, who knew
some of that party, happening to pass
that way about the time (he died, one
of them came out to him, and said,
with a mournful tone, " Car friend is
dead now." " Oh," fays the other, " I
thought (he would never die: (Pray
how will the now condud you to the
New Jerusalem ?" With that out comes
a number of the party, one having a
glove, another a flocking, a third a
napkin, &c» " Here, fay they, are
the clothes which covered her blessed
body. Behold how they fliine ! What
a luftre do they reflect on every thing
around them !" After she died, it was
a long time before her enthufiaftick vo
taries would lay out the corpse ; nor
did they coffin her until the smell obli
ged thens thereto ; And after that, they
would not bury her, but built up the
coffin in a corner of the bare, always
expelling that she would rife again from
the" dead, according to her promise, to
conduct them to Jerufalem^ At last the
people in the country around, fliocked
with these proceedings, interfered, went
to'a Juflice of the Peace and got an o'r
