upon all people & none was with me & I have trampelled them in my fury & I did tread upon them in mine anger & their blood have I sprinkled upon my garments & have stained all my raiment for this was the day of vengeance which was in my heart & now the year of my redeemed is come & they shall mention the loveing kindness of their Lord & all that he hath bestowed upon them according to his goodness & according to his loving kindness forever & ever in all their afflictions he was afflicted & the angel of his presenc[e] saved them & in his love & in his pity he redeemed them & did bear them & did

night for ever & ever— & for this cause that men might be partakers of the glories which were revealed the Lord sent forth the fullness of the gospel & the everlasting covenant [p. 119] reas[o]ning in plainness & simplisity to prepare the weak for those things which are coming upon the earth & for the Lords Errand in the days when the <weak should confound the wise> & [illegible] little one become a strong nation & two should put their tens of thousands to flight by the weak things of the Earth the Lord should thresh the Nations of the Earth by the power of his spirit & for this cause these commandments were given they were commanded to be kept from the world in the day <that> they were given but now are to go forth unto all flesh & this according to the mind & the will of the Lord who reigneth ⟦of⟧ over all flesh & unto him that repenteth & sanctifieth himself before the Lord shall be given eternal life & they that harken not to the voice of the Lord shall be fulfilled that which was written by the Prophet Moses ⟦& also⟧ that they should be cut off from among the people & also that which was written by the Prophet M◊lichi◊ for Behold the day cometh that burneth as an Oven & all the proud ⟦& they that do⟧ yea & all that do wickedly shall be stuble & the day that cometh shall burn them up saith the Lord of hosts that it shall l[e]ave them neither root nor branch wherefore this shall be the answer of the Lord in that day when I come unto my own no man among you received me & ye are driven out when I called again there was none of you to answer yet my arm was not shortened at all that I could not redeem neither my power to deliver Behold at my rebuke I dry up the Sea ⟦is⟧ I make the rivers a wilderness their fish stinketh & dieth for thirst I Cloth[e] the Heavens with blackness & make sackloth their covering & this shall have ⟦at⟧ of my hand ye shall lay down with sorrow Behold & Lo there is none to deliver you for ye obeyed not my voice when I called unto you ⟦all⟧ out of the Heavens ye believed not my Servants & when they were sent unto you ye received them not wherefore they sealed up the testimony & bound up the Law & ye were delivered up unto darkness these shall go away into outer [p. 120] darkness where there is weeping & wailing & gnashing of theeth Behold the Lord your God hath spoken it Amen Given In Hiram Portage Co Ohio Novembr 3rd.
