give me great Power, Knowledg, & wisdom & faith so that
I should heal the sick caus the Blind to see the lame to leap
as an heart [hart], the Deaf to hear stop the mouths of Lions

from River to river from sea to sea & from con-
tinant to continant for the purpose of Preaching
the gospel of Jesus Christ & that I ^should^ stand before
Kings & Princes & that they would send for me to
receieve wisdom knowledge & instruction at my
mouth because they considered me wiser than
themselves in like manner as the Egyptians sought
wisdom at the hand of JOSEPH. And that God
would give me a multiplicity of Blessings that
I should Preach to the nations of the earth & to
the inhabitants upon the Islands of the sea & that
I should then return & stand upon Mount Zion
in the flesh even in Jackson County Missouri at
the Cumming of Christ & that I should be cought

spirits in Prision & that I should bring all of
my friends or relatives forth from the Terrestr-

gospel. These & many other Blessings were
Pronounced upon my head, & further said that
I should be annointed & my life sealed unto me
