care of the spirit as well as our Bodies the spirit needs taking
care of as well as the Body the spirit is a Being that
possesses certain capacities that are as Eternal as
God himself that were never given to it I do not believe
that any matter that ever saw the time that it could not love
hate fear &c can ever do it again but I believe it is Eternal
the formation may not be Eternal but the substance of which
it is composed is Eternal the capacities may be enlarged but
its capacity always exhisted their may be a time when our
spirits had a begining of formation but the capacity always
exhisted the Infant at first appeared as a blank page but
that spirit before it came here was full of knowledge as was
the case with the Babe of Bethlehe Jesus Christ He had wisdom
to construct worlds before He came here but had now descended
below all things came from His Fathers throne but his knowledge
power & wisdom was laid aside & nothing but the bare capacity
was left can any man remember the first month of his
life in the flesh No Neither can you remember the time
of your exhistance or doings before you came here this
is to prove men if they will prove faithful while this know
led[g]e is taken from them in infancy childhood & manhood
life & Death if one man Jesus Christ can ascend &
overcome all things so can another. If we find anything
that is good lovely, virtueous, good, exhalted then let
us lay hold of it untill we are exhaulted then the spirit
will adorn the body & do away with many of the Evils
of the fall their is sumthing in the countena[n]ce of a
man who takes care of his spirit that is glorious
& good the Lord made the spirit of man according to the
plan devised in his wisdom but this was made of
Eternal substance of many beings composed in orse
in ourselves brought together into one & Gems given to our
spirits then let us take care of our spirits. many thing
may be said about the object of our bodies & spirits they
are destined to arise in glory Exhaltation And Eternal
life then let us take care of our bodies & spirits we have
our minds filled with the cares of life & yet when
we die we have to leave all our temporal affairs it
seems to be the object of God that we should earn
our bread by the sweat of the brow if this was not
the case we might be Idle which would produce more
evil than it would to labour if we improve our time
we shall get glory that we should not get if
we were Idle for when we die the knowledge
we have gained will be of benefit to us we cannot
get a fulness of Glory while our spirit & body is
seperated we may think reflect & know right
from wrong but we cannot act as in the body we
shall look for the resurrection of the body with much
interest & great anxiety if it was not for the resurrection
of the body we should be subject to the devil & death
temporal & spiritual those who kept the celestial law
will be redeemed from all sin & death restored to
God and all blessings their is for man such will have
Joy in paradice. Joseph says if we keep the law we shall
