for mine own purpose, and by the Son I created them which is mine Only begotten. And the first man of all men have I called Adam, which is many, but only an account of this Earth, and the inhabitants thereof give I unto you, for behold there are many worlds which have passed away by the word of my power, and there are many which now stand, and innumerable are they unto man, but all things are numbered unto me for they are mine, and I know them, and it came to pass that Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, be merciful unto thy servant O! God, and tell me concerning this Earth and the inhabitants thereof, and also the heavens and then thy servant will be content, and the Lord God spoke unto Moses saying the heavens they are many, and they cannot be numbered unto man, but they are numbered unto me, for they are mine; and as one Earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof, even so shall another come; and there is no end to my works neither my words, for behold this is <these are> my works to my glory, to the Immortality and eternal life of men: and now Moses my son I will speak unto you concerning this Earth upon which thou standest, and thou shalt write the things which I shall speak, and in a day when the children of men shall esteem my words as nought, and take many of them from the Book which thou shalt write, behold I will raise up another like unto thee, and he shall be had among the children of men, among as many as shall believe, and these words were spoken unto Moses in the Mount, the name of which shall not be known among the children of men; and now they are also spoken unto you; show them not unto any except them that believe. Even so, Amen— [p. [5]]
