who are warring against those institutions from their materialistic position, are supporting those institutions, because they are mediums of those spirits who are subject to and controlled by the Papal Imperial Royal Spirits, so that materialism and the modern spiritualism are the last outbreaks of Popery, and materialists and modern spiritualists are the means of the outbreak of the worst evils, which remain latent, till the materialistic spirits come in collision with the rules given by their controllers, the Popish spirits.  From this collision of spirits originate riots, wars and other evils, which will be removed, when the pretended reformers and mediums of deluding and destroying spirits will receive the light which has been kindled by the mediumship of the writer.

Resolved 2d, That the particular and in the exterior life of people manifest evils, which are easily observed by those materialists who are falsely called reformers, cannot be removed from the society, till true reformers understand the real position of the existing churches and the spiritualism in the churches as well as the modern spiritualism out of the churches; because without this understanding there is neither knowledge nor strength in the so called reformers, to effect the true reformation, and to establish the promised Peace amongst all nations, for which the means are developed in the publications and manuscripts of the writer of these resolutions.

It is expected, that those who have called this Convention, and those who attend it are not so blind that they having called “a Convention to overcome evil with good,"[O] and granted freedom of speech in this Convention, this freedom being accepted by the assembly, would reject the good which is offered by the writer to overcome evil; since the writer affirms that those who are anxious to speak in this Convention, have nothing to say, which has not been already many times repeated in Conventions, if it is for any use at all to remove evil, but that the writer has to communicate matters to remove evil, which are not known to those who attend this Convention, as will be evident, if the two documents which are offered to be read in this Convention, and which have been written, one the last month, and the other during the travelling of the writer from New-York to this Convention, will be read publicly to this assembly.  The writer remarks especially in regard to the mediums of spirits by whom they have been brought, to speak with closed eyes in this Convention, that from the documents offered to be read, it will be made manifest, that their spirits are deluding spirits, from whom the mediums will be delivered, and enlightened by spirits of Truth, if they study with attention the writings which have been produced by the mediumship of the writer who signs his name and the charges which he has received for the introduction of the New Heaven.
