Excerpt from The Long-Wished-for Revolution: Announced to Be at Hand in a Book Lately Published, by L. Meyer Volution may be wished for, or what may be wished of a Revolution, to complete the happiness of man kind. Can we say that it alludes to nations, kings, or empires? All men of reason must answer, no; in every age of the world we read of revolutions and of many kings having been destroyed by their sub jects; but did this bring happiness to mankind? All men must answer, no: 'sin and sorrow went on the same, after all the revolutions that have taken place, where men have revolted against their kings; and the same we see now, by the resolution in France: they destroyed their king, and 'nations were involved in blood, and another monarch was esta blished with more power of destruction than the form-r; then can men say this is the long-wished for revolution, to involve nations in blood, to in crease their load heavier than before? This cannot he wished for, in any reasonable mind; and none but a wicked and malicious spirit can wish for this. The only wished-for revolution, that can be ar tended with happiness to mankind, is to wish for the destruction Of our Spiritual Enemy; and for every one to rise against him, by prayers and petil dam to the Loam to fulfil his promise made in the Fall, that Satan's power may be destroyed.
