Kingdom of God that thare would be a falling away from Apostolic faith Doctrins and ordinances
and that other systems would arise in its stead, and when these fals systems had arived at their
fullness than would "the God of Heaven set up a Kingdom which should become an Everlasting Kingdom
to whose dominion should be no end." [Daniel 2:44] 'Then should this gospel of the Kingdom be preached in all
the world as a witness unto all Nations before the End should come" Then should the church come
up out of the wilderness and be esstablished upon the foundation of the Ancient Apostles & Prophets
Christ Jesus being the chief corner stone. Also that the same gospel and Kingdom of God with
all its attendant blessings & promises that was taken from the Jews (who had fallen through unbelief)
and given to the gentiles who brought forth the fruits of that Kingdom for a season but when they
fell away in like manners through the same example of unbelief Then the gospel & Kingdom of God
will be taken out of the hands of the Gentiles as Nations and again be restored to the Jews with all the
House of Israel And that when this gospel & Kingdom was restored to the Jews it would possess
all the powers gifts blessing & ordances which it did possess when it was taken from them.

These things I did learn from the perusal of the scriptures which made a lasting impression upon my
mind. Another cause for these principles being planted in my mind was I was taught in the
days of my youth by an aged man by the name of Robert Mason who lived in Syimsbury C.t.
He was called by many a Prophet and many of his prophesies have since come to pass to my
certain knowledge. through fasting, prayer, & the laying on of hands in the name of Jesus Christ the
sick were healed, and devils were cast out under his Acdministration, even his own son who had
become a raving maniac after praying & fasting for nine days in his behalf He arose from his bed on
the ninth day & rebuked the ^evil spirit^ devil & commanded the devil to come out of him in the name of Jesus Christ
and it instantly obeyed him & he was made whole from that hour. This man instilled those principles
into my mind also into the mind of my Elder Brother Azmon Woodruff ^and Many others^. He did not believe the church
& Kingdom of God in its organized form was among man on the Earth. He considerd that he had no
authority to administer in any of the ordainances of the Gospel and knew of No man that had, but
believed it his privilege or the privilege of any man who had faith in God to fast and pray for the
sick by the laying on off hands, and to pray for light knowledge truth visions & revelations. He told me
the day was night when the Lord would again esstablish his church and Kingdom on the Earth with
all the gifts & graces that were manifest in the days of the Savior. He said it would commence upon the
Earth before he died but ithe would not live to enjoy & partake of its blessings but said that
I should & that I should become a conspicuous actor in that Kingdom. The last time that
I ever saw him He related to me the following visinon which he had in his field in open day
"He said I was carried away in a vision & found myself standing in the midst of a vast
orchard of fruit trees I became hungry & I wandered through the vast forest of fruit trees
searching for Fruit to eat but I found notone & while I stood gazeing in amazement at not
finding any fruit amid so many trees they began to fall prostrate around me as though they were
torn up by a whirlwind & they continued to fall untill there was not a tree standing in the whole forest
I immediately saw young shoots spring up from the roots which formed themselves into young &
beautiful trees and they immediately budded, blossomed & bore fruit which ripened to maturity which
was the most beautiful of ^to look upon^ of any thing my eyes had ever beheld and I stretched forth my hand & plucked
some of the fruit, & I gazed upon it with delight, and as I was about to eat of it the vision closed
& I did not eat of it at all. I found myself in my field at the close of the vision and I bowed down
