as the rifles Of gentle waters, and Grant,
who is as the war horse, stood up and
spoke in behalf Of Marshall; and the King
and his counsel!ors trenbled before their
words: And when Mills and Grant had
made an end Of speaking, the King and
his counseilo.s were dumb with amaze
ment at the wisdom of the words which
Mills and Grant had spoken, and they as
one man agreed to keep all these sayings
from the people. sSz & . q
2s.. Now the wrath Of the King had
waxed exceedingly hot because Of the
writings Of Palmer, the scribe, who dwelt
in the great city.
90. And when the truth of the writings
of the scribe could not be gainsayed, for
he wrote much, and his writings were like
scorpions stings to the lovers of evil. the
King arose in his wrath and laid hold on
the scribe, and smote him on the head
with many blows.
& 80. When the news went forth that the
King had smote the scribe, then did Hawk
and his kindred scribes raise their voices
and rejoice with exceeding great joy.
81. But 10! their rejoicing was soon
turned to weeping, and they CRASHED their
pens upon one another because they
could not stand before the Indignation Of
the people.
80. The Sanhedrim was together many
days, and many were the sayings and acts
done by the Sanhedrim; but behold, are
they not written in the book Of the chron
icles of the General Assembly. kept by
the Secretary Of Anscl, the ruler OF the
people? raj
80. In the second month of the third
year of the reign of James, the Sanhe-
drin arose and every man departed TO his
own country.
81 Now the King was not satisfied to
rule only over the people of his own land
that had chosen him, he therefore com
muned with Hawk the scribe and ether
wise men, and they agreed to make him
King over the whole country round about.
30. And when a council Of all the wise
men among them was held, and Stout, the
scribe, arose in their midst and read from
the writings which he had written, they
all shouted with an exceeding great shout.
36. Then came forth Jonathan from the
south, who is from the land Of the Hoosiers:
and by the words Of his mouth he smote
them hip and thigh, thousand men.
81. Then Stout the scribe again opened
his mouth, and cried with loud voice for
Zachary to be made ruler in place Of
James.
SO. And after this they every man
went his own way, seeking how they
might also divide their enemies as they
themselves were divided; bit the people
needed not the voice Of Jonathan, FOR
Stout, nor Hawk, because they found de-
ceit in them; and now, therefore, are their
days numbered. r.. 81 .a.s
SO. Now the decree Of the Sanhedrim
went forth, that Judges, and man Of great
learning should be chosen by the people;
and the King and those with him raised
their voices and cried against choosing
any one who belonged to either party.
40. But when the people had cast their
eyes about, they could fad no man that
did not belong to some party, and moreo-
YER they found that they would be caught
by guile if they gave ear TO ibis evil coun-
sci, SO they cried, Every man TO his tent
o people"'
a. SO they arrayed themselves, some
upon one side and some upon the other:
Now the King and those with him prayed
TO their god, who is called Intrigue; hu,
the others rlaced their trust in the God
of truth.
, AZ. And now I say unto you, Q people,
behold who hath the truth, for victory is
on the side of truth. ALPHA
