And what teach the revelations of God Z?
Is this globe to be unpeoplcd and aLnbil-

divine wrath, and preserve no memorial
ofthe divine mercy? Is the noble barque

world, may be restored to human hands,
even the hands of the mighty Antitype,
the second Adam, the Lord from Heaven.
Oh, no Satan shall not wear his stolen
