part dire&ly contrary to their prayers and their

profeflions. I would to GOD the veil might be fpeedily torn from the eyes of fuch Chriftians, as are ignorantly affifting to pull down the pillars which fupport the chriftian fabric, left they too late deplore their folly amidft its ruins !
So numerous indeed and bold have the adverfa* ries of the Clergy become, fo confident of their ftrength, that even in our legislature, they have lately ventured to bring forward and ftrenuoufly to advocate meafures, and publicly to avow opinions, tending diredly and almoft infallibly to deprive a great part of the prefent Clergy of regu- lar fupport, and to difcourage and effectually to prevent young men from enteringinto the work of the miniftry .* How can we account for this gen- eral, uncommon, and determined oppofition to the Clergy ? The deep intereft which they have taken in the political welfare of their country, furely, for
* See note (D)
the reafons we have mentioned, cannot be confid- ered either as a good, much lefs as an adequate caufe for fuch a mighty effeft. It cannot with truth be alledged againft them that they are de- ficient in patriotifm ; that they are inimical to freedom, or that they have any intereft to ferve feparate from that of the people, No, my breth- ren, the true ground of oppofition to the Clergy of America, at the prefent time is, they are decidedly oppofed to the hoftile dejigns and infidious arts of the French Government. They are oppofed to thofe atheiftical, demoralizing, and deteftable principles, which their emiffaries are endeavouring to difTeminate in our country, as in others, to pre- pare the way for our overthrow. They are a phalanx in the way, to prevent the execution of their impious defigns upon us. Thefe are the true caufes of the prefent warfare againft the American Clergy. And I pray GOD we may never fhrink from fo glorious a conteft. I earn- eftly entreat you who love Chriftianity and its holy inftitutions, to confider the nature andconfe- quences of this conteft. Suppofe the Clergy van- quifhed, their influence deftroyed, and their office abolilhed, agreeably to the wiflies and defigns of their enemies ; what becomes of public worfhip ? of the holy facraments ? and of the Sabbath ? Without a regular Clergy, the two former cannot be maintained, and the latter would foon ceafe to be regarded. And when thefe inftitutions ihall be abolifhed, the foundations of Chriftianity fink of courfe, and then what will the righteous do ?
22
I AM aware that for thefe gloomy forebod- ings, and for this vindication of the Clergy, 1 may, by fome, be called vifionary, .fplenetic, credulous, and felfifti ; but, feeling as I do for my religion and my country, reproaches of this kind, I thank my GOD, are to me harmlefs things. Confcious that I declare to you only fol- emn and feafonable truths, I am perfectly fearlefs of the confequences* Reproaches for vindicating my own profeffion againft the calumnies of the enemies of Chrift and his religion, I fhall always deem honorable. I am only concerned, my breth- ren, left the fituation of the American people gen- erally, be like that of the poor deluded Swifs, pre- vious to their awful and deplorable overthrow, and which is thus defcribed by their energetic hiftorian :* " 63" The inhabitants, he fays, feemed fearful of being roufed from their indiffer- ence, and were offended at predictions meant to put them on their guard. Woe to him who difturb- ed the general quiet by peevilh reafoning on the future, and on the danger of connexions in which they were finking deeper and deeper. The ma- jority of the Swifs were like thofe patients who are angry with' the phylician for defcribing to them their diforder."
THE conteft which now engages the attention, and fills with fearful apprehenfions all the civil- ized world, is fingular in its kind. " It is a con- teft of liberty againft defpotifm ; of property againft rapine ; of religion againft impiety ; of
* MalJet Du PJD, p. 109.
' civilized fociety againft the' deftroyers of all focial order. Thefe terms feebly exprefs the calamities which the principles and the arms of France have produced in their baleful progrefs ; and which the wounds of a bleeding world will atteft."
THESE fame principles, my brethren, whichbave produced incalculable mifckief and mifery in other countries, are deeply rooted and widely fpreading through our own, and are preparing the way for the armies which have defolated Europe. Of the ef- fedls of a French army, co-operating with their par- tizans in this country, we may form force idea if we look at Switzerland. May a merciful GOD fave us from fuch awful calamities !
I FULLY concur in opinion with an able and pi- ous divine, as expreffed in a late difcourfe on the fulfilment of the prophecies, that " we are come M to what the fcripture emphatically calls THE "LAST DAYS;" that " the laft tyrannical form " of government is falling to pieces ;" that " the " fourth beaft is now dying, and with his pangs " convulfing the world ;" that ** during his laft * ' agonies the miferies of mankind will every "where be great, and greateft on thofe nations " which have contributed moft to the fupport of " the civil and religious tyranny of the beaft." And I would fain imprefs on my own mind, and on yours, the folemn exhortation which he fub- joins, "$3r Let us not come near it, for its dying " breath is contagious. It is the body of Daniel's " fourth beaft that is dying, and infidelity with
24
44 its natural confequences,war and diforganization, *' are the plague by which it is confuming. All " wife people will withdraw their embraces, both " from the dying body, and the difeafe by which "itperifheth."*
In this connection I cannot forbear inviting your attention to a paffage in a late excellent difcourfe of the Bifliop of Quebec, which is too pertinent to our prefent purpofe, and too val- uable not to be here introduced. The candid reader, I prefume, will need no apolegy for its length. " Judicious commentators upon the *' prophecies, he fays, have directed our attention ** to the conclufion of the prefent century, as the " beginning of a period of great trouble and fuffer* *' ing to the nations, and of much danger to the " general faith of Chriftians. They have even " explained the particular nature of thofe troubles " with an exa&nefs which is truly aftonifhing. " Thefe interpretations of the predi&ions, it " Ihould be remembered, were given, fome long " ago, and all of them before the commencement " of that feries of events which has fo much agi- " tated Europe and the world."
" THE images made ufe of by the facred wri- " ters are diftin&ly interpreted to predid a great " definition, approaching to annihilation of thofe * lawful powers that, at the time under contem- plation, foould reign in the earth : a dreadful
* See note (E.)
" diminution of tiiz dignity and fplendour of all 44 greatnefs ; a fubverfion of facial fubordination
* * and of civil government ; and a contempt of all *' law fid authority. They are interpreted to pre- *4 diifl that menjhould be let loofe upon each other in
* * defiance of civil power, jufl rule, and legal rejiraint. 44 They are confidered as intimating that irrelig- 44 ion, vanity, a total abfence of ferious principle, 44 and a mifapplication of the refinements of civil iz- 44 ation, were to produce thefe mifcbiejs precifely in ** thefe times.*
44 WHAT fhall we fay then to thefe things ? 44 Thefe are the interpretations of the PROPHE- 44 the commencement of the events that they "defcribe!"
44 CERTAINLY at no period in the hiftory of ** mankind, has the hand of GOD more clearly 44 appeared to overrule the a6ts of nations and em- 44 pires, than in the circumftances which diftin- 4 44 and wonderful manner in which the occurrences 44 which are daily taking place in the world, are " ful filing the PROPHECIES, as thofe prophecies i4 have been previoujly underjlood, and interpreted, " by men moft confpicuous for learning and ** genius !"
44 UNDER this view of the fubjedt, we appear " to be diredlly led to confider the revolutionifls of
* See, more particularly, Mr. KING'S Criticifms, tending to illuftrate fume palTagesin the Holy Scripture?,
" France as fpecially appointed to execute the Di- 4 'vine counfels , as ordained to be inftruments " of punifhment ; a&ing with fearful feverity *' upon the more abandoned of mankind ; and 44 purifying, like a refiner's fire, the hearts of thofe "who continue to hold faft the prof effion of their " faith as it was once delivered to the Saints. "
" THE wonderful feries of fuccefles which have " fo long diftinguiflied the arms of a people be- "yond example impious, and the facility with " which they have fpread their pernicious princi- *' pies, and opened a way for their ambitious pro- c M perplexed and alarmed the mind of every re^ M fleding man who has cbnfidered the fubjedl in *' this light ; but viewing them as a SCOURGE in " the hand of Heaven, to chaftife the wickednefs c M their objed:, and his perplexity will ceafc."
" BY what fteps they arrived at this dreadful " pre-eminence, is now fufficiently underftood.*' " The long and infamous labours by which they *' introduced infidelity and anarchy ; the confpi- '* racy, directed with remorfelefs treachery, with " envenomed malice, and with unwearied perfe- ** verance, not only againft all eftablifhed forms *' of Chriflian ivorfoip, but againft the Religion of " Jefus thrift, are now known to the world. The " progrefs which they have made in this diaboli-
BARRUEL'S Hid. of Jacobinit"m; and ROB ISON'S Proofs of a Con-
fpiracy
16 cal warfare is recorded in chara&ers of blood."* IF the foregoing reprefentations be correct, we fhall perceive that it is our lot to live in perilous times ; in the period when there lhall be " upon the earth diflrefs of nations with perplexity, the fea and the waves roaring ; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking for thofe things which are coming on the earth"
I HAVE thus endeavoured, my brethren, to ex- hibit a faithful picture of fome of the dangers with which our religion and our country are now im- minently threatened. Admitting the reality of thefe dangers, it is natural to inquire, What are
Our CONSEQUENT DUTIES ?
WE are not to be difmayed or difheartened at the profpedt before us. It is gloomy, I acknow- ledge, but far from being hopelefs. A ftate of things like the prefent has been long expeded by many pious, reflecting, and enlightened Chriftians. The Wife and Mighty GOD is accomplifhing his grand deilgns ; and the winding up of the awful and tremendous fcene now ailing in our world, will doubtlefs be glorious to himfelf. If then dan- gers multiply around us ; if the foundations of our religion and government are affailed and fhak- en ; (GOD be praifed they are not yet, as in many European countries, deftroyed) let us not like cowards defert our ports, a&djf&l like a bird to the mountain. But, after the example of David, let
* Bilhop of Quebec's Thankfgiving Difcourfe, preached Jan. 10, 1799-
us encourage ourfelves in the Ldrd, and quit our- felves like men in the caufe of GOD and our coun- try. To comfort and animate us in the glorious conflict, let us refledl, with the exemplary Pfalm- ift, that the Lord is in his holy temple ; that His throne is in the heavens ; that His eyes behold and his eyelids try the children of men ; that He trieth the righteous ^ but the wicked and him that loveth vio- lence ^ his foul hateth ; that The ultimate portion of the wicked Jhall befnares, fire And brimjlone^ and an horrible tempeft ; and that The righteous Lord loveth righteoufnefs^ and his countenance beholdeth the up- right.
THIS do&rine of a Divine fuperintending Providence, fo precious to David, and to the people of GOD in every age, and fo neceflary to fupport us in thefe eventful and diftreffing times, it is deeply to be regretted, is, with other important truths connected with it, falling into difcredit and negleft before the impious principles of the new philofophy. Our pious anceftors faw the hand of GOD in every thing, more efpecially in all fignal events, fuch as peftilence, famine, earthquakes* war, and other Calamities . But it has become fafh- ionable of late, to afcribe thefe things to the uncon- trouled operations of natural caufes, and to keep out of view the Divine agency. This has been remarkably the cafe in refped to the defolating licknefs, which has proved a fevere and increafing calamity to our country. From the difagreement among phyficians as to the origin, nature, and
methods of preventing and healing this malignant difeafe, and from its remarkable progrefs and in- creafe, it is very evident that it is brought upon us in judgment, by the fpecial hand of Providence, to punijh us for ourjtns. And however attentive and careful we may be to remove natural caufes, which ought by no means to be omitted, yet we can have no good reafon toexped: that this calam- ity will ceafe from among us, till the moral caufes be removed, till we acknowledge the righteous hand of GOD in it, and are truly humble for our fins and reform our lives.
THE hiftory of fome of the heathen nations, will inftrudt and fhame us on this point. The Romans afcribed their good or bad fuccefs to their ftridl obfervance, or their neglecft of the public and private duties of their religion. " They received public prosperities, or public calamities ', as bleffings conferred, or punifhments inflicted by their Gods.39
WE have the teftimony of Cicero, that the Ro^ mans " furpafled all nations in the only point '* which can be called true wifdom, viz. a thorough ** conviction that all things here below are directed " and governed by a Divine Providence " While the Roman people felt the influence of this firft principle of all religion, they were virtuous, free, and invincible. But when the Atheijlical dodrine of Epicurus had infinuated itfelf among them un- der the fafcinating title of philofopby, it by degrees undermined and deftroyed this great principle, and with it that " individual fimplicity of manners,
«« and enthufiafm of public virtue ; that chafte re** «' gard to the union of the fexes by marriage, and *' pious attention to the improvement of the mor- " als of the people by religion, which, in all coun- " tries are the ftrong pillars by which every po- *' litical fociety is fuftained, and its component 44 parts cemented." The fpread and influence of the Epicurian philofophy was the real caufe of that rapid depravity of the Roman manners, which terminated in the ruin of the empire itfelf.*
THIS flame philofophy which ruined Rome has been revived in the prefent age, and is now wide- ly fpreading its defolations over the world. Its contagious influence has reached us, and is vifibly marring the foundations of all our moft precious interefts. The principles of this philofophy 44 deftroy all before them ; and though they may " firft inflame the palace, they will in the end *' confume the thatched cottage."
I HAVE ftrong and confoling hope that the reign of this impious philofophy will not be gen- eral, or of long continuance, in our own country, and particularly in this part of it. We have, I truft, many to ftand in the gap who, in the name of the Lord of Hofts, are already oppofing them- felves with zeal and firmnefs, in the ufe of the proper means, againft the deftru&ive torrent. And this number I truft is increafing and will increafe. The alarm is given, the ruined republics of Europe
* Sfenote(F.)

are exhibited before our eyes as fo many beacons to guard us againft the rocks on which they have been fhip wrecked, and the American people in confequence are roufing, too flowly and reluctantly indeed, from their flumbers. Many good peo- ple, however, are ftill afleep, and infenfible to our prefent dangers. The Lord in his own time and manner will open their eyes, and conquer their unreafonable prejudices ; and then they will cor- dially join their prayers and their efforts againft the common enemy. But before this (hall be generally the cafe, there is reafon to fear we {hall be obliged to drink deeper than we have yet done of that cup of calamities, mingled by a juft GOD, of which many of the European nations are now drinking even to the very dregs.
To prevent this as far as in us lies, it behoves us to liften to the voice of Providence in the prefent events, which loudly warns us to avoid all polit- ical connection with thofe nations which feem de- voted to deftruCiion ; C^r to watch the movements, and detedt and expofe the machinations of their numerous emiffaries among us ; to rejeCt, as we would the moft deadly poifon, their atheiftical and deftruCtive principles in whatever way or fhape they may be infinuated among us ; to take heed that we partake not of their fins, that we may not receive of her plagues. *' Let us fear the Lord ; " live in all due fubjeCtion to our rulers, and " meddle, not with them that are given to change/*
IT is a duty fpecially incumbent on us at this
time, to promote to offices of truft and influence fuch men only, as have good principles and morals; who refpedt religion and love their country ; who will be a terror to evil doers, and will encourage fuch as do well. If ever the time fhall come when the new philofophy fhall obtain afcendency over public opinion, and men who have embraced its principles, fliall be able to controul our flate and national counfels, " America muft drink the cup of Babylon. Then flie will become a limb of the beaft, whofe body GOD hath faid lhall be given to the burning flame. "*
LET us not then become enamoured of this vain and impious philofophy, nor imagine that infidel- ity is any mark of profound thinking, or of acute penetration. *' A little philofophy (faid Lord Bacon) inclineth men's minds to atheifm ; but depth in philofophy bringeth men's minds about to religion" Chriftianity can reckon among her fup- porters and advocates many of the brighteft orna- ments of our race, men of the moft fhining talents, the deepeft refearch, and the moft profound and extenfive learning that the world ever witnefled. Let this religion theri, which ftrengthens all the motives of virtue ; binds together the members of fociety, and whofe do&rines and precepts tend in the higheft degree to promote univerfal happi- nefs, be the "ANCHOR of all our hopes ; and let us never forget the infeparable connexion that exifts between the virtues which flow from it, and the profperity of our country."

Jl H E foregoing Extract is from the honourable R. G. Harper's Sketch cf the principal afis of Congrtfs, during the Jejjion which clojed the $d of March lait, and is dated at Philadelphia, March go, 1799. He adds,
" This fcheme came to our knowledge in the following manner. A very rich fhip from the Eaft Indies, valued at nearly feven hundred thoufand dollars, was taken laft fummer by one of Hedouville's priva- teers. The owners, merchants of this town (Philadelphia) employed a man of honor and character, well known here, and well acquainted in the Weft Indies, to go and endeavour to purchafe the fhip, at a low rate. He went to St. Domingo for that purpofe j and while there, converfed with fome of the black officers who were to be employed in the expedi- tion. As he fpoke their language well, he was led to cultivate an ac- quaintance with them j and from them, in their moments of conviviality, he learned the project. / have it from him, through a psrfoti oftht highejl confidence."
NOTE (B.) page 16.
IN my Difcourfe on the National Faft,* May 9111,1798, after giving fome account of ROB ISDN'S Proofs of a Conj piracy, £c. a work which had then juft arrived in America, I faid, " There are too many evidences that this order (the Illuminati,) has had its branches eftablifned, in fome form or other, and its emiffaries fecretly at work in this country, for leveral years part."
t Being often publicly called upon for evidence to fupport this infinua- tjon, I engaged, when my health and leifure would permit, to lay it be- fore the public. This engagement was in part fulfilled, in the Ap- pendix of my Thankfgiving Sermon of Nov. 29, 1798, Note, (F.) p. 73, to which I refer the reader.
Since this I have received a letter from Prefident DwipHT, confirming the facl which he hat} aiferted in a note to his Difcourfe on the 41)1 or July, 1798, viz. that » Illuminatifm exifts in this country ; and the impious mockery of the Sacramental Supper,defcribed by Mr. RoBisoNt has been a&ed here." Knowledge of tnis fad: was received by Preiident Dw IGHT from an unqtieftionable fource. He fays that, " his informant, a refpecla- bleFree Mafou, declares, that among the Higher Orders of JMafons in this country, this piece of Illuminatifm (meaning the mockery of the holy Supper) is, at times, I know not how often, prafiifed. The gentleman from xvhoml have the intelligence informed me, that this fail was a decifive proof of Illuminatifm in America, as the celebration of the Si-cred Supper, was not, in any fenfe, a part of the rites of the original Mafonry. Of this ! know he ran ft be certain; as being one of the principal officers of th^ Mafonic Brotherhood,"
But if all this evidence, added to that which arifes priina facie from the exiting ftate of things ; from the wonderful and alarmimr change which has been fuddenly and imperceptibly produced too generally in thff principles and morajs of the American people, be infufficient to convince and fatisfy candid minds of the actual exiftence, and fecret and extenlive operation, of Illuminatifm in this country, the following documents which were received through a mod refpeclable channel, and lor the authenticity of which I pledge myfelf, malt, I conceive, remove every

doubt remaining on the minds of rttajonable men. If any branches of this Society are eftablifhed in this part of the United States, the members no doubt will feel irritated at this difclofure, and will ufe all their Jecret arts, and open endeavours, todiminifh the importance of thefe documents and the reputation of him who makes them public. As to the latter, I feel little concern, having made up my mind to facrifice every thing I pofTefs, and even my life, if necefTary in the caufe of my religion and my country. But I am anxious to guard the public againlt the artifices of defigning perfons which may probably be ufed to leflen the importance of evidence adduced in confirmation of facls of infinite moment to their welfare. I earneftly invite the readers unprejudiced attention to the following documents.
