(likely from the late 18th or early 19th century, during or shortly after the French Revolution).

 

The print is faded or dark, making it hard to read, but here's a cleaned-up, modernized transcription with the spelling corrected for clarity:

 

From the CONNECTICUT COURANT.LEAVE off to Religious prayer Men for French successes. That a wise governor continues in his proclamations, is no excuse for you. He has ends to answer upon after you have not calculation, and besides to pray for French successes is praying for the misery and political corruption of Europe, and of your own country. These evils proceed naturally exactly in the ratio of it, as ravings are of the bite of a mad dog.Give up all delusion about the โ€œmillennium.โ€ It did not arrive with the โ€œage of reasonโ€ โ€” was not the age of reason โ€” was not the age of Satan. Not can it be made with โ€œan age of reasonโ€ โ€” This certainly is a period in which Satan claimed his stand. But when weeks were turned into decades, sleep eternal inscribed in the tombs into altars, and a naked girl, for adoration, was placed on the altar; then it came. And the lions of Belial shouted for joy, though you did not understand them. โ€” From that time France has been drunk with abhorred blood, and the blood of her blasphemies. We must you to be false, are not called to Christianity โ€” The Deist to atheism. Ours are nearly all in. โ€” Dream of being in the Millennium, or in its dawn.For your consolation however, Satan is not bound again. But without a king, Satan has five heads. As to the time, it will happen for good when at Patmos the event took place; which is as soon as any prophecy is made false. Z.

 

"Satan has five heads": Possibly an allusion to the French Directory (the ruling body at the time) or a symbolic reference to the "five heads" of evil in apocalyptic imagery.

 

5 eyes?
