Where is the religion, principle, Holiness, gifts, graces, fruits, Gospel, Faith
Church & its affects to to be found in this generation that was with
the Ancients well says one their is no need of them Now, has God
or his gospel changed certainly not & the same causes will produce
the same affect to day as Anciently The Apostle exhorts us to contend
for that faith once delivered to the Saints wher is the honest Searcher after
truth that cannot see what the faith of the Saints was it was by faith
that that the worlds were framed [FIGURE] God spake Chaos heard & worlds came into
order by reason of the faith there was in him. So with man also—he spake by faith
in the name of God, and the sun stood still, the moon ob[eyed], mountains [r]emoved, prisons
fell, lions mouths were closed, the human heart lost its enmity, fire its violence, armies
their power, the sword its terror, and death its dominion, and all this by reason
of the faith which was in them. Had it not been for the faith which was in man
they might have spoken to the sun, the moon, the mountains, prisons, lions, the human heart, fire,
armies, the sword, or to d[e]ath in vain [FIGURES] brd but at thi day preach to the world the same
that Christ & the Apostles taught & the epithets of this ungodly, crooked,
hard hearted, unbelieving, stiff necked, money making generation
will be heaped upon his head the words of the Apostle is truly
verified at this day when he saw they would not Endure sound
doctrine. If the Roman church is the mother of harlots is not her
daughters visible & if the fountain is corrupt are not the streams also
I look upon this generation of Gentiles as a Body as standing in
the same situation with regard ^to^ the Second Comeing of Christ as
the Jews were at his first & that day of calamity which is at the
door will surely overtake them as a theiief in the night & their unbelieving
the word of God will not make the truth of it without affect The signs are
puting fourth of the second advent of Christ the Church is travling out
of the wilderness the standard is erecting to it we some of the Gentiles
are seeking the treese are puting fourth leaves the stone rolls the Kingdom
grows & will soon fill the Earth & God will bring to pass his act his strange
act the walls of Zion will be reared in beauty & glory the Lamanites
will blossom as the rose the whole house of Israel will be gathered the Tabernacle
of God will dwell with men. O Beloved Parents for Jesus Christ sake come
to the light of his rising & save yourselves from this untoward generation
& be prepared to meet the Bridegroom which is at the door for as it
was in the days of Noah so shall it be when Christ comes he that
readeth let him understand for it is a day of warning & not many words
