South-cot-ti-ans, s. pl . [See def.] Church Hist. (pl.): The followers of Joanna South cott (1750-1814), who claimed to be descended from an old Hertfordshire family, but whose own circumstances were so poor that she had to become a domestic servant. She had strong religious feel ings, and, till about the age of forty, was a member of the Methodist body. In 1792 she profe ed to receive revelations, which she published in 1801-3. These were partly in prose, but chiefly in doggrel. From that time to her death the number of beliey. ers in her pretensions largely increased. These were by no means confined to the uneducated cla es, and they made such provision for her as enabled her to ings her followers received "seals "- papers which live in considerable style. In return for their offer purported to number them with the mystical "hundred and forty and four you sand" of the Apocalypse (vii. 4). In 1813 Joanna announced that she was about to become a mother, that the child would be miraculously conceived, and would be the Shiloh (Gen. xlix. 10) in whom the Millennium was to be established. She died Dec. 27, 1814, and on her tombstone, in Marylebone Churchyard, is an inscription foretelling her re-appearance. Shortly before her death, the Rev. J. T. Foley, Rector of Old Swinford, on her behalf, announced to her followers that she had received a heavenly command that they were not to a emble for worship till after the birth of Shiloh, but to attend Protestant churches, In 1825, Charles William Twort pretended to be the Shiloh, and another impostor, George Turner (whose followers were called Turner i tes), arose about the same time. The last leader of the South cot tians was John Wroe, of Bowling, near Bradford. He claimed prophetic gifts, and taught that the Second Advent was at hand. His adherents, who are called Christian Israeli tes, are much stronger in Australia (where Wroe died in 1863) than elsewhere. B. As adv.: Toward the south. "Whan she is gone southerly."-P.
