He that still remains breaking these commands till the end, will not inherit the city; but he that has the fulness of my Spirit will do them, and inherit the city.

Revelation, 2 chap, 26 ver. "He that keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations."

CONCLUSION.

The Public may say unto the Trustees of the house of Israel, What are your reasons for bringing forward these Laws; and what proof have you that John Wroe is a Messenger of God?

Answer, first; We believe that God has set his hand a second time, as he did in the days of Moses, to recover the remnant of his people Israel, as he says in Isaiah, 11 chap. 11 ver. which should be among the Gentiles, in the midst of many people, as a lion among the beasts of the forest; Micah, 5 chap. 8 ver. And that he will now write his laws on their hearts, and in their minds; Jeremiah 31 chap. 33 ver.

And, secondly; We have proof upon proof that John Wroe is a Messenger of God, in the many fulfilments of the Prophecies which have been given to him, at different times, in communications, for the last twelve years, and sent to upwards of forty bodies of people, who are believers in them, in England, Scotland, and Ireland, and the names of the persons, we can produce, if called upon. Many of those bodies having existed from the beginning of the above mentioned period; and had the prophecies lodged in their bands, immediately after they were given.

And these Prophecies being fulfilled, bear the strongest testimony that they are of God, according to the words of Jesus, in John, 14 chap. 29 ver. "And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe."

PROPHECIES.

On the 20th of the 11th month, 1822, Samuel Entwistle, preacher to a number of people at Ashton, came to John Wroe, at Bradford, and asked John Wroe for a sign, and John Wroe said to him.

"There will be a sign. and you must look for it in the newspapers, fourteen days from this day; and it will make the ears of all to tingle. And there is another sign for you, [yourself,] and it will be ready for you, and meet you, when you get home; and you will take your bed on it, and seek for death." Wit. ness, Thomas Heap, of Hurst Cross, near Ashton; with the congregation at Bradford.

which was an uncommonly strong wind, which threw down buildings, and frightened people in such a manner that they could not sleep, in the night, and made their ears to tingle.

As soon as he the preacher got home, he found that the his wife had found sign was fulfilled; out that he had been carrying on a wicked correspondence with another woman, and was in the greatest distress; and he took his bed and sought death.

Signed, John and Mary Russel, her parents. Witness, James Moor. Idle, 29th of 3rd month, 1825.

4 These Prophecies, the one given ten years, and the other six years ago, were fulfilled in the year, 1834, as appears by the following accounts, taken from the newspapers.

Philadelphia Inquirer.-" Several hundreds of persons must have perished during the first three days of last week, in consequence of the excessive heat. The papers from all parts of the country contain melancholy notices upon the subject."

Accounts dated August, 1834,--“A great drought has been experienced both in France and Germany, to the production of much local distress and inconvenience.”

The countries of Eastern EuropeRussia, Poland, Hungary, Prussia, Silesia, Bohemia, Moravia, and even Austria, have suffered from extraordinary drought, since the commencebrooks, and springs were dried up; ment of the Spring. In July, rivers, the leaves of the trees became yellow; corn was greatly damaged, and the meadows still more. -Hay and straw are beyond all price. All the accounts received in Paris, from Germany, Poland, and Russia, represent the prospects of the ensuing harvest in the most unfavorable light. So intense was the heat, and so universal the drought, that dearth was appre
