aged Servent Joseph as pertaining to thou who do not
belong to your families that those things that are provided for you to bring to pass my work are not taken from you and
given to those that are not worthy and thereby you are hindred in accomplish ing <those things
which> I have commanded you— and again verely I say unto you it is my will that my
hand maiden Viana [Vienna Jacques] should receive money to bear her expences and go up unto the Land of
Zion and the residue of her money I will consecrate unto myself and reward her in mine own due time verely I say unto
you <that> it is meet in mine eyes that she should go up un to the Land of Zion and
receive an inheritance from the hand of the Bishop that she may settle down in peace <in as
much as she is faithful> and not be Idle in her days from thenceforth and behold verely I say unto you that ye shall write this commandment and say unto you brethren in Zion
in Love greeting that I have called you also to preside over Zion in mine own due time therefore let them cease wearing
me concerning this matter behold I say unto you that your brethren in Zion begin to repent and the Angels rejoice over them nevertheless I am not well pleased with
many things and I am not well pleased with my servant William E McLelin, neithe[r] with my servant sidney Gilbert, and the
Bishop also and others have many things to repent of but verely I say unto you
that I the Lord will contend with Zion and plead with her strong ones and chasten her untill she overcome and are clean
before me for she shall not be moved out of her place I the Lord have
spoken it— Amen— [p. [3]]
