deceit.
13. And let US, also, listen unto the pro-
misses which they do make unto US;
Ia. For they surely seek not their own
but our good
Is. Therefore, let US follow their i%njunc-
tons
l6. Let us place in their hands the power
which they ask from us, that they may give
into us dominion, happiness and wealth.
II. Thus reasoned the chief part Of the
people among themselves.
Is. Not beholding the enduring woe that
they were bringing upon themselves and up
on their posterity.
Tl9. Nevertheless there were a few who
being endowed with greater caution spake
in this wise:
30. Why should we believe what these
men are saying unto us?
81. Are we not, even now, happy and
prosperous?
%. Do we see whereby the rulers which
we now have, are working evil unto US, for
their own upbuilding?
%. Is not Quincy both wise and just? and
is he not continually seeking that which most
b~elongeth unto our happiness?
"a. And his coadjutor, Henry, what false
hoods do these men utter of him!
25. Hath he not been most faithful and
devoted unto us?
26r Hath he not helped 10 give us advan-
tage owe our enemies?
81. Hath he not always sought to protect
those who labored, and exalt the humboldt
T2S. And how would Andrew perform
that which he hath promised unto US?
%. He is truly, a great and victorious
warrior; but how know we he would be a
wise and upright lawgiver?
80. Moreover he has joined his hands with
those of Cataline the Rowing, and Martin the
Magician.
81. And they would ruin US utterly, if
thereby they could make themselves great
and powerful.
80. Let US not then, o let us not prove
treacherous unto Quincy and Henry, for
surely, if we do, our children and our chill
dren's children will curse US therefor
33. But the chief number would not hear
them; and taking the power from Quincy
and his friends, they gave it unto Andrew
and his friends.
i CHAPTER III.
! /. And it came to pass when And rev be
J; gan to WELD the power which had beer
! placed in his hands that he chose unto him
i, self Martin and other willy men as counsel
lors.
2. And they began to look about them, ant
E to say among themselves:
3. Now, see that we have obtained tina
which we have so greatly desired, it be
: hoveth us to use all caution, and circumspec
ton, that it be not taken from us.
4. Let us, therefore, continue our PROBES
f sions of love for the People, and perform
}, those acts which shall make them prospe
e rous for the present time, that they may trus
in us with their whole hearts.
a B. And let us make to ourselves friend
y ofall those who are in authority.
6. Let US crush and utterly overwheln
v those who will not 60 hand in hand with US
v and put in their places, those who will b
n obedient unto our commands;
j. 7. Thus shall we be able TO make our so,
e ereignty firm and eternal;
8. And ruling DER this land with might
sway bring all into subsection to our will.
v 9. Thus spake they one to another.
r 10. And in all things theydid as they ha
desired.
l. IL. Aut in process of time it came TO pas:
,r that Calaline, regarding the love of thos
who dwelt in the region of round about Ca
=: DINA more than that of all others; said unit
m Andrew and those who belonged in the coul
ell:
IL. 1t is meet now. that you should witt
draw your protection from those who dive
or in the North and giving unto other nation
S: the privilege of buying and selling in yol
II, land, that you will thereby enjoy, and enric
u those who live in the South.
Is. But Andrew and Martin, seeing TIL
thereby they should make themselves odiol
in the eyes of the greater part, refused
a. grant their aid unto Cataline.
ID. And those, also, who sat in counc
h among whom Henry was the chiefest wou
not hear him.
Is. Then Catalina. became greatly ezra
i'd ed, and stirring up the jewellers in about Ca
olina, caused them to be enraged also; an
III they threatened to make war against Il
North, because the inhabitants theree
be would not make themselves miserable fc
ever, that the people of the South might
ar prosperous for a little season.
Is. And verify, had it not been for Il
he wisdom and ~eloquece of Henry, they won
have done as they had threatened.
lst II. And notwithstanding C~ataline's a
ger was somewhat appeased by Henry,
he ceased to be friendly unto Andrew or Ma
tin.
lat Is. About those times there was a Ban
which was highly useful unto the People.
