9. Desolation of Seminaries: as of Schools, Colleges, Universities, ⟨p. 70⟩and such like.1 David lamented the destruction of the City of Priests which was a Seminary. The coming of the Kingdom of God is much hindered by the desolation of Seminaries. So also is it as much, if not more, hindered by corruption in Seminaries.
