Again; as the Earth is a Globe and in continual motion, how could
Jesus on being “taken up into an exceedingly high mountain see all
the kingdoms of the world, in a moment of time?” Or, when “He cometh
with clouds and every eye shall see him,” how could it be possible,
seeing that at least twenty-four hours would elapse before every
part of the Earth would be turned to the same point? But it has been
demonstrated that the Earth is a Plane and motionless, and that from a
great eminence every part of its surface could be seen at once; and, at
once--at the same moment, could every eye behold Him, when “coming in a
cloud with power and great glory.”

Transcriber’s Notes
Inconsistent and unusual spelling, punctuation etc. have been
retained; accents on (French) words have not been corrected. The
inconsistent nesting and pairing of quote marks often makes it
difficult to determine where a quote starts or ends.
