Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Letter Addressed to Mrs. Russel, of Derby, on the Subject of Satan's Crown Turned Upside Down: In Which Is Explained, the True Meaning of Samson Tying the Foxes Tail to Tail, and Burning Up the Corn of the Philistines, Also, Herein Is Proved, That Mankind Are Perfectly Free From the Charge of Being Sinners Against God
Now, sister, when this stormy wind here mentioned did actually come upon Zion, to throw down the old building, and the wall of the crafty inventions of men, that Zion was built up with, then the scripture is understood, the scriptures fit into the character very well, and the foxes are tied tail to tail, then the tale told in the scriptures, and my tale, perfectly agree: and the knowledge of the Word is obtained, because it is fulfilled just as God said, and the knowledge obtained by the fulfilment, is the firebrand between the tales; and, so now you are sure that it is Samson that has done this: don't you see the standing corn of the Philistines burning - see the smoke how it rises up - they won't have a grain of corn left, to make bread of now. No man shall live by bread alone, i.e., the word in the letter, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mourn of God and that month is Zion. The Lord dwelleth in Zion. The name of the City is the Lord is there. Aye, and it is he that ties the foxes tail to tail there was no one to do it till the Lord came, and de parted. And then came again, as is signified by the name Samson, i.e., the Lord come again.
Now turn to Luke, c. 13, from v.'31, and we will show you the old arch fox of all'. The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto Him, get thee out and depart hence, for Herod will kill thee; and he saith unto them, go ye and tell that fox: behold I cast out devils, and do cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected, nevertheless, I must walk to-day and to-morrow, and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. Then followeth the lamentation over Jerusalem, and the declaration, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
