which Doctor Bengel wrote, on five of the seven mountains, to wit, 1. on the mountain Coelius, 2. mountain Aventinus, 3.  Vaticanus, 4.  Qurinalis, 5.  Esquilinus.  Farther is to be remarked that although Popes had some times their seats in other places, for instance in Avignon of France, others in opposition to them had at the same time their seat in Rome, or when in some Revolution they were driven from Rome, they returned as soon as they could.  Doctor Bengel when he found, that in his time the seat of the Papal government was the fifth of the seven mountains, assured most solemnly, that that government would not be translocated from that upon another mountain until it crumbled to pieces, and he, by his admirable calculation, showed, that it would take place before the expiration of his century.  It took place A.D. 1798, when Pope Pius VI. was taken captive and carried to France, and the French Directory located the seat of their government in Rome, not upon one of the five mountains which were successively occupied as the seat of the Papal government, but upon the mountain Capitolinus.  On that mountain was the temple which was dedicated during the heathen Rome to all heathen Gods, and during the Papal Rome to all Saints or all Gods whom the Pope professed to worship.  But then it was taken by the French Directory for the seat of the government.

All these things were axactly performed, by the influence of spirits of different spheres.  Every actor in the great drama was influenced by spirits for whose inspiration he was best prepared.  But all that took place under the vigilance of the highest order of spirits for the accomplishment of prophecies.  In Revelation, xvii:  10 the seven mountains are called seven kings, that is seven monarchial or dospotic or antichristian governments, governments which originated from the inspiration of the dragon, the spirit of delusion and destruction.  The seven mountains are types of these seven governments.  But five are fallen, that is five kings or five monarchial governments are fallen at the time which the Revelator saw, that is, at the time, when the woman was sitting on the Beast having seven heads and ten horns.  During those five kings or during the Papal governments on the live mountains that woman, which is the mother of harlots and abominations, was prepared and fostered by all the anti-christian deeds which have been perpetrated by the authority of the Papal Bulls which issued from the five mountains.  People who came out from the exterior fashion of Popery, did not return to the christian truth and christian spirit, but progressed into materialism and endeavoured to effect with weapons of war, what can only be effected according to the plan given in the following treatise.  The French Revolution broke out A.D. 1789, and progressed in tremendous destruction of life and property and in terrorism and distress of the survivors, that at length A.D. 1798 Pope Pious VI was carried captive to France, where
