The pastor here said, 81 take you to
witness friends, that in former discourses,
before blow was struck between Prussia
and France, said how matters would turn
out. Not only did say that France would
be annibilated, but l also told you that the
PaPal reign was over; and these things
have all happened"

would also be abolished in Europe and be-
