friends who have betrayed me as I am informed. Then <​friends betray me. All the enemies upon the face of the Earth may roar and exert all their power to bring about my destruction <​death​>. but they can accomplish nothing, unless some who are among us, enjoy our society, have been with us in our Councils, participated in our confidence, taken us with <​by​> the hand, called us brother, saluted us with a kiss, join with our enemies, turn our virtues into faults, <​& by falsehood & deceit​> stir up their wrath against us, and indignation against us, & <​by falsehood​> bring their united vengeance upon our heads. All the fire and cry of the Chief Priests and Elders against the Savior could not bring down <​the wrath of​> the Jewish nation upon his head & thereby cause his <​the​> death <​crucifixion of the Son of God​> until Judas said to them “whomsoever I shall kiss, he is the man, hold him fast”. Judas was one of the disciples, <​Twelve Apostles, even their Treasurer, and dipt with their <​lord and​> master in the dish.​> & thro his treachery, the crucifixion was brought about, & we have a Judas in our midst.​>
