«« 17 SS . The fourth vial is poured out . An utter end is put to the-Papal hierarchy , of all sorts . Many towns in Italy are burnt with fire , and Rome herself is levelled with the ground . " 1734 . All the potentates in Europe throw off the Popish yoke .
" 1735 . Now Europe begins to enjoy a perfect and general peace ; being the happy consequence of the destruction of Antichrist , and settling the kingdom of Christ in these parts . 4 € 1748 . The fifth vial is poured out . The Turkish empire is now afflicted with many and great calamities .
" 1759 . The idolatry of the Church of Rome being now removed , which was the great stumbling block that prejudiced others Against Christianity , the Jews are now converted , and , assisted by the European Powers , recover the land of Canaan from the
Turks , and are settled there . The Jews being now settled in the land of Canaan , place the several tribes in their order . They rebuild the city of Jerusalem , and a famous church for the worship of God .

Dr . Stock too well understands the nature of evidence , to imagine that his letter assigns a single reason why another should follow his example . Those who have so * much extolled it ,
and have recently given it a species of celebrity , which his refined taste cannot relish , any more than his judgment can approve , shew that they consider the question as one which is to be
