shalt send forth my word unto the ends of the earth contend thou therefore morning by morning & day after day let thy warning voice go forth & when the night cometh let not the inhabitants of the earth slumber because of thy speech Let thy habitation be known in & remove not thy house for I the Lord have a great work for thee to do in publishing my name among the children of men, therefore gird up your loins for the work let your feet be shod also for thou art chosen & thy path lyeth among the mountains and among many nations & by thy word many high ones shall be brought low & by thy word many low ones shall be exalted thy voice shall be a rebuke unto the transgressor & at thy rebuke let the tongue of the slanderer cease its perverseness. Be thou humble & the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand & give thee an answer to thy prayers I know thy heart & have heard thy prayers concerning thy Brethren be not partial towards them in love above many others but let your love be for them as for yourself & let your love abound unto all men and unto all who love my name & [p. 5]
