WE are distinctly told by the Prophet Hosea, that a time would come to Israel when, for some time, they would be without a king. f° Fog the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince" (Hos. iii. 4). This prophecy was issued against Israel when they, were in their land, and at a time that they had a king, some sixty years before they went into captivity. It was given them B.C. 785, at -a time that they had grieved the Spirit of the Lord by their exceeding 'wickedness, when the sentence of exile was pronounced against them,, and could only have received accomplishment from the time they became a vassal people under the Gentile Assyrians, to the time of their arrival in the isles, a period of time that would make "many days." But that this desolate state could continue to them after their settlement in CO the isles" would be impossible, because it would so directly contradict many pro phecies that are known to have already been accomplished. Moreover, we must never forget that the bulk of Israel's prophecies could never begin to take effect until they had re-united in the isles, a point which, must be manifest from the ground we have already passed over; so that the time of their having been many days without a king must have long since run out.

THE IDENTITY presses upon the reader the great historical links that were given at the commencement of these Identities, that the British ancestors came from the spot where the Assyrians carried Israel captive; were found there at the very time of the captivity; that this region was not their cradle; and the important point that they are known not to have been, there prior to this captivity. These grand points, taken with the many Scriptural proofs since given, `that we are identical with Israel,' and, coupled with the fact, that we all know our ancestors came over here as wandering tribes, without government, and under temporary' and unsatisfactory headships, yet possessing almost a perfect knowledge of what things should be, comparatively a rude people, yet with the most refined and highly cultivated language under the sun, in itself, utterly precluding the idea that we had sprung from a barbarous or unrefined ancestry, are amply sufficient to establish the fact, that we also were for many days without a king. Hence a telling Identity.
