advantage of you. You may do that in an hour that you cannot rega-
in through all Eternity. Now you have great priviliges & nothing
[FIGURE] but the attainment of the Throne of a God is worth the attainment of
a Saints of God. your privliges are great what is the privilege of
the wicked they want the privilege to get drunk to Hore it & kill each
other is this a privilege no more than it would be to stick your

Eternity and Enjoying Eternal life forever, while the wicked want
to kill his Neighbor. Now I want to say to you all quit your covetous-
