to it the following; then contrast the whole with a motion made by a noted lawyer in the House of Commons on the 21st of May 1816 for the education of the poor: there "where (he says) ONE HUNDRED and NINETY THOUSAND in the Metropolis wholly destitute of education. The description he gives of various parts of the "HOLY CITY" respecting that class of the community is greatly to be lamented, and to professing Britons highly reprehensible. "A vast number of houses have already been pulled down between the north side of Pall-Mall and Picadilly; and an open area is intended to face the palace of the Regent, bounded by the Opera-House on the east, and by splendid mansious on the north and south. A grand street will extend from St. James's street to St. Martin's Church, and be full a mile in length. The new houses to be erccted will number at least six hundred; and those pulled down being on a smallar scale will amount to at least one thousand." Yet "Agriculture and commerce are languishing for want of capital, and though these erections may employ a few hundred hands, yet it is of far more importance to direct all our powers to support those extensive branches of industry on which depend, not only our public prosperity, but the very sustenance of the people."

A stronger "intimation, or sign of the third vial" is now in operation (See Little Book page 30); the riots in various parts of England, owing to the "depreciation of the price of labour, and the increase of the price of provisions," are alas! (in May 1816) too prevalent; "blood has again been shed.". It must be expected that these kind of signs will greatly multiply as we approach nearer to the tremendous "time of the end."

I ought to have added to a paragraph in the 71st page of the Second Supplement, and to take the denomination of Sabbatarian Unitarians.

Refer to the 36th page of the Introduction, and to the latter part of the 31st and former part of the 32d pages Second Supplement, and compare those passages, with the 1st verse of the 32d chapter of Isaiah, where a "king shall reign in righteousness and Princes shall rule in judgment." The chapter evidently refers to "the time of the end." Read it with care, as the whole in its regular series, strongly points out the former, middle, and latter part of the awful period.

It appears by recent accounts from the West India Islands, that the black cattle (so they were denominated when 1 was at Charleston) were applying their horns against their cruel task master

and the drivers' cowskin-whips, and it is very probable they may in the end gore them to death, that is, cause the Islands to be in the same state as St. Domingo. See Little Book pages 54, 55, and 56.

In the 17th chapter of Revelations, the New Version has the last clause of the 8th verse, "And will appear again." in the one we read, the expression will be found, "and yet is." My readers must judge respecting their proper application. See Little Book page 41, and notes; and at the time of appearance refer to the 36th verse 4th chapter of Daniel; and I again say as in the First Supplement page 77, "The two remarkable 4th and 5th chapters must be duly and properly regarded." "I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought towards me. How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonder! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation." 2nd and 3rd verses 4th chapter.

"The awful visitation of the Key's destruction Chandos Street" (See note page 59 and 60 Little Book,) has not led to very serious reflection, for the infamous brothel has been rebuilt, and the key still opens its doors to iniquity; any person having a wish to ascertain the truth of the remark need only to read a trial for seduction, copied into various newspapers in June 1816, My readers

- must contrast that with the committee then sitting for the education of the poor. These things in the "Great and Holy City." I remember when the disturbances were in Ireland a number of years ago, the cry, particularly by the clergy was; "educate the poor,' but

when the disturbances were put down by the strong hand of power, nothing more was heard about it. The old adage here occurs to my mind, "when the seed is stole, shut the

stable door."

In the latter part of a note page 59, Little Book, I have mentioned the degeneracy of the Jews at the time of the promulgation of Christianity. Josephus says "that he believed there never existed, from the beginning of the world, a generation of men more profligate than the body of the jewish leaders and nobility were at the time Jerusalem was besieged by the Romans." Refer to the note and-"think.

The total eclipse, or total darkness of the moon in June 1816 must be taken as a preparatory sign, though the phenomenon is not of so uncommon a nature as the one seen by "Captain Hayes and his ship's crew," nor respecting the numerous spots in that luminary, I repeat the prophetic expression of my. Masters. "There shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars" &c. The last sign is very applicable to the tremendous Comet, as a star of the first magnitude. I must again refer my readers to the note page 31, Little Book.

I ought to have added to a paragraph in the 40th page of the Second Supplement-though eight millions are faid to be spent in parochial rates for the relief of the poor. In America the aged and indigent poor are relieved by voluntary contributions in their different Churches (fo called; they not having any established fyftem, there is no insiduous epithet of Meeting-hcufes, Conventicles. &c.

I have faid at the conclufion of a paragraph page 53, Second Supplement. "There are now in 1815 dark spots upon the fun's difk" I now in June 1816 take an extract from a public paper. "According to the obfervations of feveral aftronomers, upon the fpots which the sun's difk exhibits at this period, one of them is of a confiderable fize; it refembles a group of small islands lying close together. and has at least the breadth of the diameter of the earth. Another fpot is very obfcure and furrounded by a light fhadow. There are fix fpots in the whole."

Since the above was wrote it appears that the dark fpots have confiderably increased and may be feen with the naked eye, we may therefore expect an increase of "wet, cold, and unfavourable weather," Thefe are figns in the Sun, and at a time of "distress of nations with PERPLEXITY," "want of intercourse for trade." Can we fuppofe a time more appropriate to the prophecy? See the note Litile
