verily I say unto you there are those among you who seeketh signs & there has been such even from the beginning, but behold faith cometh not by signs, but— signs follow those that believe, yea signs cometh by faith, not by the will of men, nor as they please, but by the will of God, yea signs cometh by faith unto mighty works, for without faith no man pleaseth God & with whom God is angry he is not well pleased, wherefore unto such he sheweth no signs, only in wrath unto their condemnation, wherefore I the Lord am not pleased with those among you who have sought after signs & wonders for faith & not for the good of men unto my glory, nevertheless I gave & many have turned away from my commandments & have not kept them— there were among you Adulterers & Adulteresses, some of whom have turned away from you & others remain with you that thereafter shall be revealed let such be aware & repent speedily lest judgments shall come upon them as a snare [p. [46]]
