honourable mention of his name & not
backbite & devour our brother. Why [won't]
not man learn wisdom by precept of this
late age of the world where we have such a
cloud of witnesses & examples before us
& not be obliged to learn by sad experi
ance every thing we know. must the new
ones that are chosen to fill the places
of those that our fallen of the quorum of the
Twelve begin to exalt themselves untill
they exhalt themselves so high that they will
even tumble over & have a great fall
& go wallowing through the mud &
mire & darkness Judas like to the
buffetings of Satan as several of the quor
um of the Twelve have done or will they
learn wisdom & be wise. [Matthew 27:3-5] (O God give them
wisdom & keep them humble I pray)
