Saints Whire has reason gone but into some solitary place whire the prince of Darkness rules both Early and late By works I judge that daily speaks of unwise doings of the Latter Day Saints They in aray together move to cuver up wrongs on their bad works They say we are the blest of God We the kies like Apostle Peter possess Their is no power to put us down as the Priesthood we have obtained As no one is instructed In the theme with light to lead the C of L D Saints Again the Lesser Class do saya our teachers are Infalable men of God that God has placed for our guide that we with them do cheerfully move in hopes to enter in threw the Pearly Gates in to a Heavenly rest They thus reason Without regard the Word of God Or his law to govern man
