Transcription

Thou art caled at this time to meet in Council with the Antinet of Days As they at this time have met in Council and have come to the Conclusion to Unriddle the Iniquity of the Church of L. D. S. As they on Earth have had a standing In the name of the Lord and often ben blessed in their daily moves By Revelations Dreams and Visions. They much light have received Untill they by bad works have rejected the Son of God By their works they have become fallen that on them is a curse That they cannot get off But because of bad doings their wrights are gone that they have no claim on the Kingdom of God of the Leaders of the L. D.S. Altho many is a looking for that which is good yet the veil is drawn betwene them and the Son of God Their destiny is seald that they stand on the Ground As they did before they was born So all those that have not well don their work must must remember the Penalty of the Law of God But because of their doings in days past and gone they now are permited to take an other round That they may yet enter into the presance of the father and son that they may yet have a chance a work to do To gain a Celestial rest A rest of which the Pr[ophets] spoke if they understood It is a rest of worth altho many of the L.D.S. because of unwise doings have not it merited by their works as they on earth took a stand and covenated to do the will of God But God by them by them has ben disgrased by their bad works both Early and late They in his name have said to do well be no more disgrased Their daily moves them forbid to be caled after the name of God as his name by them is much disgrased as they say to be L. D Saints
