what my children are about or what they are doing they may
be in the streets swareing what I know as others do if they
should go to Hell it would be required at the Hands of the

conquer me I would sooner see them die than that they
should conquer me If any one of my children will
not follow my footsteps I will disinherit & disown them
they shall not have part in my kingdom I would rather
get children Adopted to me that will keep the command
ments. No child should rise up & teach & controll the Mother
Or woman should ^not^ rise up & dictate the Husband And the Husband
should not rise up & try to dictate His president or the Lord
