not to procrastinate repentance or wait till a death
bed, for it is the will of God that man should repent
& serve him in health & in the strength & power
of his mind in order to secure his blessings & not wait
untill he is called to die.

But having a case of death before us I thought it
proper to refer to that subject. I will now however

the stars in the heavens, & gi[v]en them their laws
conditions, & bounds which they cannot pass except
by his command. they all move in perfect harmony
in there sphere & order & are as wonders, lights &
signs unto us. The sea also has its bounds which
it cannot pass. God has set many signs in the earth
as well as in heaven for instance the oaks of the forest
the fruit of the tree, the herd of the field all bear a
sign that seed hath been planted there.
