DEAR SIRs In your issue of the 2th inst,
observe among other things, that 'Cincin-
natti has prophet" and no wonder; for our
blessed Lord who inhabits eternity, and who
measures the future with omniscent wisdom,
has predicted the advent Of such ant-christan
innOvators, whose united aim is 10 secretly
undermine the celestial fabric of Christianity,
and to elevate unstable souls to the throne of
doubt and incredibly.
If we look for moment into the history of
the past, we cannot fail to discover the most
shocking professions to inspiration among an
enthusiastic class of ndi Yiduals, who breathe n
sanctimonious spirit of deusiou, regardless of
what the church of the living God h IS handed
down incorrnpty. fer the edifcation and uni
~ ef all her faithful children.
Indeed time and space would ahsolutely fail
us, were we TO take descriptive cogniz ,ncs of
Moselama, Al Aswad, Al Mokanns. Nthmud
Eben FArav, Baber, etc, among the Mussul-
maas of Alpes, MeHander, Sim Magus. and
score OF othsrs among the ancient Gnostics
OF Herman, an Anabaptist, James Naylor,
DAVID George, and Others Of more recent tin =,
who literally sci themselves up the of ,
God, to say nothing OF Mob ,mmsd, Joanna
Southcote Annt Lee Antoinette Rourignon de
la Porte, Sweien borg Joseph Smith, and last
iy General Booth of the - Salvation Armv,
who, respectively. mida themselves notorious
as founders or Leaders OF rude neo o .ic, sects,
