ended by them, till they come on the ground
which the writer occupies, according to his mission, which is made
manifest in the documents which have been offered to be read in
this Convention. When those documents will be read and
comprehended, the following resolutions will be adopted:

Resolved 1st, that the general fundamental cause of the evils which
are to be removed from the social, political and religious
relations of mankind, is founded in the Old Heavens and in the Old
Earth, that means the old institutions, which will be removed when
they shall be comprehended by true reformers, since the so called
reformers who are warring against those institutions from their
materialistic position, are supporting those institutions, because
they are mediums of those spirits who are subject to and controlled
by the Papal Imperial Royal Spirits, so that materialism and the
modern spiritualism are the last outbreaks of Popery, and
materialists and modern spiritualists are the means of the outbreak
of the worst evils, which remain latent, till the materialistic
spirits come in collision with the rules given by their
controllers, the Popish spirits. From this collision of spirits
originate riots, wars and other evils, which will be removed, when
the pretended reformers and mediums of deluding and destroying
spirits will receive the light which has been kindled by the
mediumship of the writer.

Resolved 2d, That the particular and in the exterior life of people
manifest evils, which are easily observed by those materialists who
are falsely called reformers, cannot be removed from the society,
till true reformers understand the real position of the existing
churches and the spiritualism in the churches as well as the modern
spiritualism out of the churches; because without this
understanding there is neither knowledge nor strength in the so
called reformers, to effect the true reformation, and to establish
the promised Peace amongst all nations, for which the means are
developed in the publications and manuscripts of the writer of
these resolutions.

It is expected, that those who have called this Convention, and
those who attend it are not so blind that they having called "a
Convention to overcome evil with good,"[O] and granted freedom of
speech
