my line directed to the departed Charlotte Kunz, although
he has been before that in correspondence with her
husband, Mr. Mansfield with all his guardians would
not have been able to give the characteristic notes
which are in the communication testifying, that some
of our leaders was the superior, while J. V. Mansfield’s
guardian was writing that communication with Charlotte
Kunz’s signature, although there are the strongest
marks in the communication, that she could not write
it, but that a deluding and destroying guardian of
J. V. Mansfield wrote it, partly according to her
wishes, partly according to his own impulse, partly
according to the dictation of our leader who controlled
him, that he inserted the characteristic notes given
by our leader. This is the epitome of that treatise,
which was to be given in this treatise as a peculiar
preparation to my epistle to the Bishops of Illyria.
But before we commence to translate it, we must add
also the following remarks. When our leaders
compel in one place “the Secret Enemies of True
Republicanism” to bring to daylight their abominations
for our peculiar use to enlighten this degraded generation,
they send us corresponding testimonies also from other
places, and we have collected in said treatise some
extraordinary testimonies for an illustration of the
answers of the sealed letters by J. V. Mansfield’s
mediumship. A peculiar witness in this repect
was Doctor Randolph, whose spirits I tried several
years before my meeting with Mansfield; but he was
not ready to be converted from darkness to the light
which is kindled by our disclosures. At length
when I tried Mansfield’s spirits, newspapers
commenced to publish Dr. Randolph’s confessions.
He tells: “I was a medium about eight years,
during which time I made three thousand speeches,”
&c. “And to day I had rather seen the Cholera
in my house than be a spiritual medium! for years
I have lived alone for spiritualism and its cognates.
Henceforth I live to combat many of the identical
doctrines that I once accepted as Heavenly truths.”
“I enter the arena,” says he “as
the champion of common sense, against what in my soul
I believe to be the most tremendous enemy of God, morals
and religion, that ever found foothold on the earth—the
most seductive, hence most dangerous form of sensualism
that ever cursed a nation, age or people.”
If Dr. Randolph had been brought from spirits of delusion
on our ground, he would have assisted us to open the
door for the New Era. But he returned to the
sects, from which spirits commenced to manifest themselves
in their materialistic deluding manner, till we commenced
to show, what they were, and then they commenced to
be caught in their lies, and many spiritualists commenced
to be scared; but they would not progress on our ground,
and returned to professed materialism and sectarianism.
But the concentration of all abominations of the perverted
spiritualism is in the Papal Imperial Royal Courts.
Many spirits delude monarchs and their supporters
