November 5, 1836 ~ Saturday

NOV 5^th Spent the day at Col Joseph Rowletts in reading A Book bearing this title PRINCIPLES. OF. NATURE
BY ELIHU. PALMER [figures around name] in 1806 third edition. Mr Palmer being a decided Deist his object in this work
was to overthrow the vailidty & testimony of the Scriptures or Prophets & Apostles And after ende-
avou[r]ing to take the advantage by gathering together in one combine'd mass all the inconsistences, folies,
& eviles af a sectarian generation & heaping them upon the true Church of Christ when ther is no
more concord or connection between the two now than between the Pharasees, Sadusees
Herodians, & Christ & the Apostles eighteen hundred. years ago. He then says that the testimony
of Christ has failed & not fulfilled according to his word & for proof of his assertion he
quotes the 24^th chapter of Math & says that in that chapter Christ prophesied that the fall of
Jerusalem tThe Comeing of Christ & the end of the world Would take place in that gener
ation & he declares it did not take place & in consequence of this Mr Palmer makes the seeweeping
conclusion that the Bible is fals & Jesus Christ an imposter But let Mr Palmer hold
untill that the prophesy is fullfilled according to the declaration of Jesus Christ & all will be well
& the world will feel the power of natuers God PSee Page 100 [FIGURE] Preached at Col
