not reprooved you in the gate. I ask did I ever
exercise any compulsion over any man. did I not
give him the liberty of disbelieveing any doctrin I
have preached if he saw fit. why do not my
enemies strike a blow at the doctrin. they
cannot do it, it is truth. And I am as the
voice of one crying in the wilderness repent
of your sins & prepare the way for the coming
of the Son of Man, for the kingdom of God
has come unto you and henceforth the
ax is laid unto the root of the tree, and evry
tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, God
Almighty (and not Jo Smith) shall hew down &
cast it into the fire.) [Matthew 3:2-3; 10]
