Transcription

Being caled upon to meet in Council with the Antient of Days at this time as they have assembled in Council twelve Antient men of God that was Resorected with the Saviour at the meridian of time As I am caled upon to pen their doings it I cheerfully preform as I by them am shone As i with them assemble their visage to me is plain looks and doings not to be explained simply by the scratch of the pen But to have a view of the Antient of Days it not the same as looking at our fellow man altho in sise and form they much agree But in looks they far dissemble the fallen state of man as they are the spirits of just men made perfect that is caled to fill an important post that they on Earth have took at stand to be conducted by the Savior In their daily moves as he with them has assembled and in Council set To preside that they by him are Instructed in their fervant paths to take to put all things in order as is congenial with the Word of God.
