Patten and my servant Orson Hyde and my serv ant Wm E. McLellen [McLellin] have sinded against me, and the residue are not sufficiently humble before me, behold the parable which I spake concerning a man having twelve Sons, for what man amon[g] you having twelve Sons and is no respecter to them and they serve him obediantly and he saith unto the one be thou clothed in robes and sit thou here, and to the other be thou clothed in rages [rags] and sit thou there, and looketh upon his sons and saith I am just, ye will answer and say no man, and ye answer truly, therefore Verily thus saith the Lord your God I appointed these twelve that they should be equal in their ministry and in their porti on and in their evangelical rights, wherefore they have sined a verry grevious sin, in as much as they have made themselves unequ al and have not hearkned unto my voice therfor let them repent speedily and pre pare their hearts for the solem assembly [p. 18]
