Bounties of the Gracious God — Page xii
xii So, the first prophecy is that which I had published prior to the emergence of the plague and its bursting deluge and before its footmen and horsemen began their inva- sion [i. e. before all the destruction and devastation caused by it]. Thereafter, the plague attacked India like a robber and wreaked havoc and rent people asunder. The second prophecy was regarding our support and protection, and the command for us not to be inoculated and to turn to the Lord of Honour and Glory. Hence, I obeyed this com- mand and stood aside like a slave. And, I had no right to express any displeasure over the command of the Glorious God. The third prophecy was regarding the death by plague of some religious scholars from among my enemies. I have already addressed this subject and there is no need to repeat that here.
