As I, often am a writing of things that transpires I now write of things That comes to my view I write as instructed by the Antient of Days as they have in part met with me some business to perform as they have met in Council Gods purposes to bring about I now write of their doings and of what is to take place A temporal Kingdom is to be reard in honour of the Antient men of God They will give direction The work to do as is directed by the Saviour to be don in this the nineteenth Century of time As I am caled an agent For them to act I cheerfully do as directed by them as I pass thew a probationary state As this is a day of business Set apart they to gether in council have met to do such business As is to be don As I am caled on a work to do As I am seited in a Low Mansion in the Ciyty of Nauvoo A Council met and ordained me To the orthoroty of the High P.hood after the order of the son of God to administer in temporal Concerns. They spoke of a company that with me should meet and receive an ordination an Ordination that would form a Corum of twelve that they would be caled by Revelation to Labour for God And move as Volenteers in honour of his name As is directed by the Antient of days As all other Kingdoms must to be them be submit the way must be open it do be don Let those that are ordained unto this power look well to their duty and manage as is directed by the Antient of Days As power will be given them to move in away by being one in Spirit and mind they shall receive power from on high to move in the doings of the world and baffle them in all their way They shall excede them wisdom and wit to sho them their folly by being outdon in strength and activity They far shall excede the doings around that they shall baffle the powers of darkness Let those that volenteer And are caled look well to their duty in honour of God As in cases of transgressions or apostasy it shall not be known as God will take the offender from the eivel to come that is caled by Revelation his will to perform.
