the merchandise, and the crafty men Q
the city, SO he turned in and abode wit
Howard the Publican, who furnished mea
and Drink unto the King and all that wer
with him, and gave much grain and .prov
ender unto his asses $50 that when h
arose to depart from thence, John VIII
carried the bag, gave unto Howard tn
Publican twelve hundred pieces of silver
Is. After two days they entered a shi
and sailed toward the East that the
might be present at the great meeting o
the people and of the elders and chic
priests, the fame Of which had spread fron
one end of the earth even unto the other
IA. And It came to pass that in one day
and night the ship cast anchor in the bay
that fronts the great city of the East, ant
vast concourse of people, being TIVE
score and len mon, came down to the SET
shore to meet the King, for it was a tim,
when the peoples hearts were warmed il
remembrance Of the great things the
Lord had done for them in the days tina
were past.
Is. And they took the King and brough,
him to great tent wherein the prophets
and wise men were wont to exhort the
people:.-And when they had all assem-.
bled and uncovered their heads and wiped
their noses clean, the King rose up and
behold there was great stiffness! So
he lifted up his voice and said: Now is
my heart warmed within me at the sight
OF this goodly number Of my faithful SER
wants, who have gathered together with
one accord TO do me honor.
l6. The sight of so much devotion and
reverence falleth upon and refresheth my
heart like as the dew Of evening refresh,
eth the trees Of Hermon. Now shall my
enemies be put to shame, for if we do the
thing that pleaseth me, and show honor
TO me and my household for me, even unto
my son Bob whom ye see among ye, it
shall come 10 pass that We shall wax
mighty in the land, and all the places of
rust shall be put into your hands to do
with them as we list.
II. Behold have come up from the
South from my palace, and no man hath
said, God save the King; but will put
forth my hand and they shall know that |
am King and there is none like me in all
The land. Ye all remember in times past
when there was great collection of peo-
Die at Harrisburg, how | raised my voice
md scept aloud for the good of my coun-,
ry, before that the roins of government
passed into my hands, when Martin the
sat upon the throne: How
when the great warrior who had conquer
I'd the Canaanites had given up the ghost
came and reigned in his stead-and my
enemies sometimes we'll nigh prevailed
against me, but they shall repent Of their
evil deeds that they have committed
against me.
10. And We shall know how when |
came to this great city aforetime, how |
turned in and slept with that great stir
or up of sedition, Botts-his children may
boast Of that favor that | showed unto
him.
10. 1t has been said by some of my
enemies that am fool, and they wag
their heads at me in derision--but the
forty thousand officers that want my aid
know better than that: | am sure TO find
favor in their sight. They cherish me as
he apple of their eyes. Even Daniel,
he chief speaker who is mighty in The
and and OF good report among all the ma
ions Of the earth, forsook not my coun-
sells, but tarried and gave heed unto the
words Of my mouth.
90. And SO the King made an end of
speaking, and when he looked that there
should be great tumult among the peo-
Die who had heard him speak Behold no
inc but Bob the scribe who was also the
Kings son, said Amen--but all felt sick
ness of the stomach and forthwith the
whole congregation commsnced vomiting.
% the King. after that he had finished
peaking felt sickness Of the stomach
ome upon him, and so it fell out that his
whole household, even the Captain Of the
Iosts, John who carried the bag, his son
Bob and all that were with him fell To-
'omiting. And the King put his hand up
n the afflicted part, and dropping his
cad upon his breast, for he felt very
,eak and his knees did tremble under
i'm, and Returned 10 60 into his tent, and
lob with his hand upon the skirt Of the
ling's garment, followed in like manner,
nd the Captain Of the Hosts and John
tho carried the bag, and all the househo Id
ollowed in like manner one before the
Their, vomiting as they went.
FL. And all the people marvelled great
y that the Kings speech should have such
mouing effect.
22. Now the rest of the things concern
ng King Ty's journey into tho East,
low that he kissed seven hundred Virgins
nd iourneyed back to the palace, beao ID
re they not written in the Chronicles Of
ohm Jones, the Kings jester.
