Transcription

To end the whole matter, we must be heard by the gods, fearing, and according to the commandments, which,—for this sustained Adam our Father, who is the Almighty before mentioned. When Israel was in the Wilderness, they kept the word of wisdom, as died like Achan for stealing, god and garments. My voice is Virtue and Victory. amen!
