On these principles Burke condemned it.

He declared that the methods of the Constituent Assembly, up to the summer of 1790, were unjust, precipitate, destructive, and without stability.

Men had chosen to build their house on the sands, and the winds and the seas would speedily beat against it and overthrow it.
His prophecy was fulfilled to the letter.

What is still more important for the credit of his foresight is, that not only did his prophecy come true, but it came true for the reasons that he had fixed upon.

It was, for instance, the constitution of the Church, in which Burke saw the worst of the many bad mistakes of the Assembly.
