TitleLetter from Edward Bickersteth, Walton Rectory [Hertfordshire], to the Duke of Manchester
DescriptionReligious writings and Irish matters.
How very painful and humbling the decision of our legislature as it regards our beloved country, mourns over it deeply. A union of the harlot and priest(?) betokening the speedy judgement.
Another sign has stuck him in correspondence laid before parliament on the executions in Turkey. The hoping away of the Turkish woe is marvellous and most instructive. Goes on to state the date is perculiar and has connections to Ezra 457 BC and the close of the 2300 years in Daniel 8.13.14. On the 21st March 1844, the first of Nisan [a Babylonian and Hebrew calendar date for the first month of spring], we find the power of death over Mohammedans becoming Christian is taken away. If anything occurs to his Grace, let him know as it will be noted in Bickesteth's new edition his 'Practical Guide'.
