This was the answer he had, without pause, from the noble Peleides: "Speak with a confident heart whatsoever thy scrutiny reaches; For by Apollo I swear, by the Son of the Highest Kronion, None to whom thou shalt discover the truth of prophetical warning, Calling the Gods to attest while I live, and mine eyes are undarken'd, None shall, for that revelation, lay hand of oppression upon thee; None of the Danäids all that are camp'd by the station of galleys Even if thou name Agamemnon, the first of the host in dominion."
I felt then, and all along felt, that there was an intellectual cowardice in not having a basis in reason for my belief, and a moral cowardice in not avowing that basis. I should have felt myself less than a man, if I did not bring it out, whatever it was. This is one principal reason why I wrote and published the "Prophetical Office." This again was a main reason for the publication of Tract 90.
That the letters were forged, is now made so probable, that, perhaps, they will never more be cited as testimonies. MARMOR NORFOLCIENSE: Or, an essay on an ancient prophetical inscription, in monkish rhyme, lately discovered near Lynn, in Norfolk. By Probus Britannicus .
These events, which spread over several years, are related in confirmation of the prophetical gifts of Francesca, who accurately foresaw and foretold them when nothing presaged their occurrence. At the time when this storm was about to burst over Italy, and the beginning of sorrow was at hand, she was doomed to experience another of the heavy afflictions that life had yet in store for her.
Notwithstanding his infallibility, which implies omniscience, his Holiness did not foresee the issue of the Franco-Prussian War. Had the prophetical talent been vouchsafed to him, he would have detected the inopportuneness of the acts of his Council. His request to the King of Prussia for military aid to support his temporal power was denied.
So long as they enjoyed the gift of prophecy, the stone remained steady under them; but when the gift was withdrawn, and the persecuted seers were compelled to flee for safety to other lands, the stone rose to accompany them: whereupon the angel Gabriel interposed, and prevented the departure of the prophetical chair, leaving on it indelibly the marks of his fingers.
I was certain that the prophetical vision would be fulfilled, but I expected that afterwards would be shown how Etzler's mistakes should be repaired, and that great lessons would be given to nations by the trial of that machine, the inventor of which was a great materialist, not knowing that he himself was a strong medium of spirits of a similar character as spirits of Napoleon I. were, to subdue the world by physical means, while I considered that machine as the means of peculiar spirit manifestations to awaken nations from their materialism to our message of peace containing the true spiritualism.
I was sore about the great Anglican divines, as if they had taken me in, and made me say strong things, which facts did not justify. Yet I did still hold in substance all that I had said against the Church of Rome in my Prophetical Office.
Let it suffice to say, that in accordance with common prejudices, I suffer my mind to be shorn of its consecrated rays; for albeit my moral censor has spared the prophetical ideas, and one or two other serious sobrieties, on the ground that, although they are mere hints, they are at all events hints of good, still more experimental and more hazardous pieces of biblical criticism have been not unwisely immolated.
"Since you uttered the previous sentence, Master Paul. I appeal to your own knowledge of history." "Nay, I question not your historical views, but your prophetical statements, as to the fate of this island. Have you not heard of this writing that `the knowledge of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea? Does not that signify completeness in the spread of knowledge?
