and the women for both male & female proceded from him He said
many though[t] that the seat of life or the soul or mind of man was
in the heart others in the brain but whareever the seed of life was located
there was the seat of livfe & the foundation of the soul many other remarks
were made He said any man that was a prophet of God He was born
a Natural Prophet it was through a linage of Prophets there fathers
& mothers were Prophets & Prophetesses by birth through the seed of
Abraham this was the case with Joseph Brigham & himself their
Fathers were prophets. He then Chastized Thomas Ellerback in
