News paper viz abot the Latter Day Saints, Inund-
ation in France with great destruction Election &
fraud in the U. S A &c I preached in the afternoon
& followed Br Pitt in the evening, After which several
of the followers of Joanna Southcoat got up & detained
the congregation by preaching there principles there
are several parties belonging to her societ[y]
this party that spoke call themselves the
ten tribes of Israel they gather to England
which they consider the promised land they
wear long beards & circumcise keep the law
of Moses & omit the first principles of the
gospel Baptism &c, they are the ownly ones tha[t]
will have a body like Christ Abram all the proph[ets]
& Apostles will have a body inferior to theirs &
will inherit a Celestial Kingdom, while
they say they will inherit the kingdon of God whi[ch]
they consider a far greater than the celesti
al, & they have many things to foolish & incons
istant to be believed by rational man.
