We have witnessed Jurieu prophesying in Holland. There were always such impostors, and not only wretches who predicted, but other wretches who imagined prophecies spoken by ancient personages. The world has been filled with Sibyls and Nostra- damuses. The Alcoran reckons two hundred and twenty-four thousand prophets. Bishop Epiphanius, in his notes on the pretended Canon of the Apostles, reckons seventy-three Jewish prophets, and ten pro- phetesses. The trade of prophet among the Jews was neith...er a dignity nor a degree, nor a profession in the state ; they were not admitted prophets as doctors are OF THE HOLY SCRJPTUHKS. *7 admitted at Oxford and Cambridge. Let those pro- phesy that would ; it was sufficient to have, or to be- lieve they had, or to feign they had, the calling of the spirit of God. Futurity was announced by dancing and playing on the psaltery. Saul, although he was rebuked, took it into his head fo be a prophet. During civil wars each party had its prophet, as we have our Grub Street writers.
