On 9 March 1845, during a discussion of procedural rules in the high priests quorum, Brigham Young similarly warned that “if the High Priests have trammelled themselves with rules they have snagged themselves.” Young instructed that they “should pay no attention to rules—but do just what was right.” (Nauvoo High Priests Quorum, Record, 9 Mar. 1845.)
