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. If fountains be poisoned, can wholesome streams be expected to flow from thence? In corrupted Seminaries more vassals of Satan, then true subjects of Christ are bred and brought up.
