Dear Sir,
Enclosed is the additional Paper which you wanted in the case of Eunice Church. I have mislaid your letter in which you requested it; but suppose you have kept some copy or note of it; and so I send the enclosed without it. You may notice that the certificate in relation to the Justice is given by our Recorder, instead of the Prothonotary or County Clerk, & your forms seem to direct. The Prothonotary is absent; and therefore I send the Recorders certificate, as he is in fact the proper officer to do it, as he records the Justices Capias; and as the Prothonotary knows no more about them than others.
If you have any doubts upon this point let me refer you to the Hon: Francis James of the No: Reps: who is a member of the Bar in this State.
Yours very respectfully,
V. L. Maxwell

After Judge Jepson had taken the deposition, and Affirmations to which his name is attached, and had gone home, it was thought useful to take the deposition of Mary Wilber, though it could then be done before a Justice of the Peace only; and it was with the same view, of throwing all the light possible upon the subject, that the deposition of Laura E. Little was taken, though the record of which the Judge gives a copy was only a copy of the original; Still it was thought a strong corroborative Circumstance.

15 And did not he make one? Yet had he residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? that he might seek a godly seed. Therefore heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith, that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
17 Ye have wearied the LORD with your words: yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he hath in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?

messenger, majesty, and grace of Christ. rebellion, 8 sacrilege, 13 and infidelity. fear God.
1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
8 Will a man rob God? yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD
of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed; for ye shall be a delightful land, saith the LORD of hosts.
13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD: yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
15 And now, we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another; and the LORD hearkened, and heard it: and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked; between him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not.
CHAP. IV.
1 God's judgment on the wicked. 2 and his blessing on the good: 5 he telleth of Elijah's coming and office.
1 FOR, behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet, in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
