be reckoned as an especial Data and Year of commencement for the accomplishment of the Apocalyptic Prophecy in this Generation-and of the watchful eye of Providence having been intent to blast the Antichristian principle as so proclaimed for Doctrine and Justification; and as opposed to that of His approved and beloved Son,-whose Doctrinal Precepts and Principles alone, He will countenance and support, for the Preservation and Salvation of all Mankind that believe and trust in him.

The spirit of Retaliation has now met its Double, -in the practical Justification of Oaths, as being also the essence and spirit-nay, as the rudiment and principle of the British Constitution; which has tainted and infected the Hearts and Minds of Men, even to an eager continuation and stimulus of offence, by the brand of the Antichristian Franchise Oath Communication, virtually stamped, in Qualifying and Registering the pronounced and denounced Evil for Good; which has, universally, reached and attained its full achme and ripeness of offence and transgression; and to an issue and a contest of Decision :-" For, it is the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the Year of recompences for the controversy of Zion." And which will now try, and prove in the Event, that Principle which shall prevail and Rule in the World—the Law of God and Heaven! or the law of Man and Mammon !

The immediate Process of accomplishment of the Prophecys might have been noted and discerned from

the above stated Data, as having regularly progressed, to the present time of the Sixth Vial having been poured out upon the Great and Fruitful River Euphrates: Or literally,-The bountiful Source and River of Taxation! Whereof, the Water and supply therefrom, it may fitly and duly be presumed, is not far off from being "Dried Up," as predicted.-Rev. xvi. 12.

The Judgment that has already fallen on that— the Symbolical Euphratean River has now convulsed the Nation and the Stars have been seen Falling from their Political Hemisphere, as untimely Figs when the Tree is shaken with the mighty Wind.

And who would not rejoice and be glad that the Successor of Shebna, shall not be left to the choice and appointment of Man? And although there may be a temporary intervening,-Yet in the day, or time when he shall be Pulled down, and Driven from his Station and State! God himself has declared that, He will Call HIS servant Eliakim- The Resurrection of God'! And moreover saith The Lord God of Hosts, I will Clothe him with thy Robe, and Strengthen him with thy Girdle, and I will commit thy Government into his hand: and he shall be a Father to the Inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the House of Judah. And the Key of the House of David will I lay upon his Shoulder; so he shall Open, and none shall shut; and he shall Shut, and none shall open. And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure Place; and he, the Eliakim

Thus shall the pro"In that day, saith

of God, shall be for a glorious Throne to his Father's house. And they shall hang upon Him all the Glory of his Father's house, the offspring and the issue, all Vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of Cups, even to all the Vessels of Flagons." mised Throne of David be set up. the Lord of Hosts, shall the Nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the Burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the Lord hath spoken it." Isaiah xxii.

And again then, who is there that will not rejoice and be glad with thanksgiving and praise to Him, who hath the Power, even to God Himself, who hath said of His chosen servant Eliakim, that,—“ The Key of the House of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shut, and none shall open."-Thus then it appears, the Throne of David shall be established; On which Christ himself will sit, and be Enthroned: and according to the Prophet,-" Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this."-Isaiah ix. 7. And saith the Lord of Hosts, the Nail that was fastened in the sure place shall be removed and fall; and the grievous Burden, or load of Taxation, that was upon it shall be cut off.

In succession and immediately follows the Judgment and fearful Overthrow of the latter-day Daughter of Tarshish and Burden of Tyre,-" Pass through thy land as a River, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength. He stretched out his hand over the Sea, He shook the Kingdoms: the Lord hath given a Commandment against the Merchant City, to destroy the strong Holds thereof." Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste. Howl, Ye Inhabitants of the Isle." Is this Your joyous City, whose Antiquity is of ancient Days? Her own feet (implicative of her ships) shall carry her afar off to sojourn. Who hath taken this council against Tyre, -the Crowning City, whose Merchants are Princes, whose Traffickers are the Honourable of the Earth? The Lord of Hosts hath purposed it, To Stain the Pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the Earth." Isaiah xxiii.

And continues the Prophet,-"It shall be, as with the People, so with the Priest;"-" The Earth mourneth and fadeth away, the World languisheth and fadeth away, the Haughty people of the Earth do languish. The Earth is defiled under the Inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the Laws, changed the Ordinance, broken the Everlasting Covenant.-Therefore, hath the Curse devoured the Earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate."" Fear, and the Pit, and the Snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the Earth."-"The earth is

utterly broken Down, the Earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The Earth shall Reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the Transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the Host of the High Ones that are on High, and the Kings of the Earth upon the Earth. And they shall be gathered together, as Prisoners are gathered in the Pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, (their Tophet), and after many days shall they be visited. Then, (their Satellites and Planets)" The Moon shall be confounded, and the Sun ashamed, when the Lord Of Hosts shall reign in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his Ancients Gloriously."-Isaiah xxiv.

In returning to the consideration and critical examination of the Prophecies of Daniel, which are so much and especially at issue and estimation at the present time, it may be well to remark that, beside Those that took place and were fulfilled in his own days and time; the Prophet Daniel has declared that, -The remainder were all to come to pass, and were reserved for Commencement and Fulfilment, in the latter Days. And consequently and exclusively-Save and except that Prophecy of the Eight Chapter, which has a precise and distinct reference and application to another, or, the Sister Kingdom :-Every one of Daniel's Predictions unite, and are in concord more or less, in
