10. And Martin said unto those who

III. Anu Maflln SAID untO tnOSe who
followed him for the loaves and fishes,
will call upon you in the Sanhedrim to
pass law whereby all the gold and sill
yer of the provinces shall be paid for lands
and for goods brought across the great
waters, and it shall be kept in strong box.
es by those who receive it, for our use.
IL. Yea and 1 viii call on you to raise
mighty army, even two hundred thou
sand shall be the number; and we will
have the gold and the silver in our own
hands and William and his followers shall
not conquer us.
IL. And when Thomas, of the prov
ince which lieth toward the setting sun,
and many others of the followers Of Mar
tin heard these sayings Of his, they all
cried Amen! as thou wi|lest, so shall it be.
CHAPTER ".
L. Now Amos left the great letter box
according to the command of his master,
and began to print the book, and it in
creased in number even as the sands upon
the sea shore.
2. And Martin wrote an epistle to the
Great Sanhedrim, wherein he called upon
them to do as he had before privily told
them: and according to his will they made
the law to swallow up all the gold and sill
yer of the provinces, and to put it into
strong boxes for his use: and Martin ap-
proved the law and signed it.
8. But about this time the followers of
Martin in Great Sanhedrim became
alarmed and could not raise the mighty
army which Martin had commanded they
should do: for the murmurs of the people
against it were heard all over the land.
4. And in the seventh month of the
fourth year of the reign of Martin, the
Great Sanhedrim made an end of their
doings. and departed hence, each to the
province wherein he dwelleth.
5. Now while all these things were do
ing by the Sanhedrim many of the peo-
pie forsook their evil leaders and went
over unto William, for the scales had now
fallen from their eyes by reason Of their
pockets being empty.
6. And the followers of William and
his doctrines, continued to assemble them
selves together in many places, and many
great and good men spake unto the null
titudes, warning them of the evils which
Martin and his followers meditated against
them.
7. And thousands forsook the evil of
their way and went over unto William
and his hosts, and William waxed strong
in the land. for most of the, people save
those who had waxed fat upon the good
things of the land by reason of the gold
and silver wherewith Martin had blessed
them, were now on the side of William.
8. Now therefore brethren be We of
good cheer: for now, even now while l !,
write unto you this history, many of the
people whose eyes have become opened, t
flock daily to the standard of William, and
ere the Great Sanhedrim shall again as
semble, Martin shall be covered with de-
feat and shame; and William the hus.
bandman, and the soldier who drove out
The heather from among you, shall be
made chief ruler of the provinces, and
plenty shall again abound in the land.
9. Verify, verify ! say unto you breth-
EN-, fear not! for Matthew in the spir.
t of prophecy, do declare and make
Known unto you. that Martin the chief ru-
er, and Richard the second ruler with the
Ethiopian woman, and all the rulers who
ollow in the footsteps Of Martin, and all
hose who receive the gold and the silver,
md the servants of the Kitchen, OH the
ourth day of the third month, of the next
rear. shall be cast out for ever.
10. And on that day there shall be
weeping and wailing and great Lamentations
mong them for the loss Of the gold and
he silver and the Offices and high places
Whereby they received it.
IL. And on that day William shall take
ossesion Of the White house, and he
hall be our chief ruler for four years, and
e shall write an epistle to the Sanhedrim
which shall open their eyes, and the peo-
lie shall all rejoice.
IL. And their cities and their towns,
nd their temples shall be lit up with great
ghts; and the voices of the rejoicing null
tudes shall mingle with the roar of guns, !,
,hich shall be heard from the North unto :,
,e South and from the rising to the set :
ng sun: But Martin and his brethren !.
hall go away sorrowful for many days. ..
