Once on a time Rome’s Church had lost her Head, Princes and Cardinals in no Pope agreed; At length the wearied Faction, with one voice, To Card’nal Dossa left the sacred choice: He nam’d himself, defeated all their hopes, And taught ’em a new way of making Popes. Urban and Clement did the world divide; Scarce forty years could the dark right decide: Councils and Card’nals both their titles damn’d, And Alexander a third Pope was nam’d. Where, all this while, was Rome’s unerring Guide? Did he in none, or in all three reside? If Popes be doubtful, who can their priesthood trust? For if they fail, their long succession must; Since then false Popes, as well as true ordain’d, How can Rome’s holy orders be maintain’d? St. Peter could no successor declare; Clement he nam’d; but Linus took the chair; We find some priests to gain the sacred chair; They can usurp, kill, poison, yet not err.

The Spirit of God is now performing great wonders in all nations, in order to bring about the great work of reformation; and that it is the opinion of many good Christians, that the call of the Jews will be in this age, and that too very suddenly; and that it is very probable, from a numerous train of deductions, that in this very year, 1750, we may expect some more than ordinary appearances and motions in most parts of the world, especially in the Northern and Eastern parts thereof, tending to the overthrow and destruction of Antichrist. “Tidings out of the East and out of the North shall trouble him, (says Daniel, chap, xi.) yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.”
