martyrs, and tears course down their cheeks. They wonder that men could ever possess hearts so hardened as to practice such inhuman cruelties towards their fellowmen, while at the same time they hold their fellowmen in slavery. And this is not all. They sever the ties of nature, and cruelly oppress from day to day their fellowmen. They can inflict most inhuman tortures with relentless cruelty, which would well compare with the cruelty papists and heathens exercised towards Christ's followers. Said the angel, It will be more tolerable for the heathen and for papists in the day of the execution of God's judgment than for such men.

Then the wrath of God will be appeased. p. 193, Para. 1, [1SG].
Chapter XXXIV (34) · The Loud Cry
I saw angels hurrying to and fro in heaven. They were descending to earth, and again ascending to heaven, preparing for the fulfillment of some important event. Then I saw another mighty angel commissioned to descend to earth, and unite his voice with the third angel, and give
