"When the Twelve or any other of the witnesses of
Jesus Christ stand before the congregations of the earth and preach
in power and demonstration of the and the people
are astonished and confounded at the doctrine and shall say that
man has preached a powerful discourse—a great sermon, then
let that man or those men take care that they do not ascribe the
glory unto themselves but be careful that they are humble and
ascribe the praise and glory to God and the for it is
by the power of the and the Holy Ghost that
they have the power thus to speak.
What art though O man but dust and from
whom dost thou receive thy power and blessing but from
God! Then O ye Twelve notice this key and be wise for
Christ sake and your own souls sake.
Ye are not sent out to be taught but to teach.
Let every man be sober and vigilent and let all his words be
seasened with grace. Keep in mind also that it is a day of warning
and not of many words.
Act honestly before God and beware of Gentile
sophestry such as bowing and scraping unto men in whom you
have no confidence. Be honest open and frank in all your
intercourse with mankind.
And O ye Twelve and all Saints profit by
this important key which now give you: In all your trials
troubles and temptations afflictions bonds imprisonment and death
see to it that you do not betray heaven that you do not
betray Jesus Christ that you do not betray your brethren and
that you do not betray the revelations of God whether in the
Bible or any of the
. Yea in all your kickings and flounderings
see to it that you do not this thing lest inocent blood be found
in your skirts and you go down to hell!
We may ever know bythat there is danger of
our being led to a fall and when we give way to the
Devil so as to neglect the first known duty but whatever
you do, never betray your friend!"
