is much profaned; nevertheless God will await a return to Him during
eighteen times twelve moons. God alone is great! He purifies His
people by many tribulations; but an end will also come upon the
wicked. At this time a great conspiracy against the white flower moves
in the dark, by the designs of an accursed band; and the poor old
blood of the Cap leaves the great city, and the sons of Brutus
increase mightily. Hark! how the servants of the Lord cry aloud to

the wicked. Woe to Celtic Gaul! The cock will efface the white flower;
and a powerful one will call himself king of the people. There will be
a great commotion among men, for the crown will be placed by the hands
of workmen who have combated in the great city. God alone is great!
The reign of the wicked will wax more powerful; but let them hasten,
for behold! the opinions of the men of Celtic Gaul are in collision,
and confusion is in all minds."
It must here be again remarked that, as regards the accomplishment of
the events which follow immediately in the prophecy, the writer has
himself seen this record in a printed form--since the fulfilment, it
is true, but in a newspaper published in the year 1839.
"The king of the people will be seen very weak: many of the wicked
will be against him; but he was _ill-seated_; and, behold! God hurls
him down." How striking is the expression, "_mal assis!_" To proceed:
"Howl, ye sons of Brutus! Call unto you the beasts that are about to
devour you. Great God! what a noise of arms! a full number of moons is
not yet completed, and, behold, many warriors are coming!"
