p. 95.  Then he continues his tale as follows:) “of all these we may say fearlessly, as Paul says, ‘though they be Angels from Heaven, let them be accursed’ they have denied the word of God—­together with these, another class of visionaries and impostors, less presumptuous, but equally foolish, may be noticed.  We refer to those who either by pretended revelation, or by interpretation, have undertaken, from time to time within the last few centuries, to prophesy of the near approach of the second advent.  The latest and most notable specimen of this class, is William Miller, who at this time, is confidently proclaiming, 1843 is the appointed year of the second coming.”

I would not have noticed “Noyes’s treaties,” if it had not been unexpectedly handed to me, when I came, while I thought I was going into the house of a man with whom I was acquainted, to his brother whom I did not know until yesterday, when I came against my expectation to him.  He commenced to tell that he had a pamphlet in which Mr. Noyes speaks about me.  Then he has shown the above quoted passage in Noyes’s pamphlet.  But I did not yet think to take notice of it, till at length he has brought this morning the pamphlet to his brother-in-law, with whom I stopped last night, and I found proper to quote the passage and to write this edition for the conclusion of this treatise.  But the quoted passage is in such connexions and correspondences, that in a new large treatise I could not explain them.  Here we can report only the following items.
