The Second Book Of Timothy:
Other'0ise called the Book of Mordecai
The Spirit Of Prophecy came ngain upon
me, IN the second year of the reign Of King
zachary, on the second month, and the Sec
ono day OF the month, saying: Son Of man !.
arse up qulckly-take thy pen and write
again unto Mordecai. the King of the Phi
llst,nes, and say on this wise to hm:-Be-
hold. have not foretold thee by the mouth
OF my Prophet, that if thou and thy disciples
did not return unto my servant George the
scribe, my press, that thou didst wrongful
~ wrench from him, did not forewarn thee
OF all the plaques that should come upon
thee. -4----------
Now, therefore, because thou didst not
hearken to the voice of my Prophet but
didst harden thy heart and didst not do as
my servant George the scribe did command
taee, eretore, be it known unto thee, oh
Mordecai! that all my Prophets did prop.
hecy concerning thee shall come upon thee
ana upon Peter the Tishubite. and upon
Timothy the lawyer. and upon Thomas the
shepherd. and upon Peter the loser. ,y:i u
Now. therefore, he it known unto thee
on King! that | will send the bloody MUIR
rain upon thy cattle and upon thy herds and
thy gold and thy silver shall become dross
before thee:-and will, smite thee With
boils and with blaine, and with grievous
sores from the crown ofthy head to the sole
of thy feet, till there be no soundness in
thee. .f4r.l.-.. -... .a.
Now, therefore, son of man, say unto
A Al:
upon him:-yea, more; for will bring his
former sins again before my people, and
will cause them to know that thou didst deal
deceittuIly with them in former times. con-
corning one Henry, the swine drover.
s=e Now, be it known unto thee, oh King!
tnat will cause my people to know, that
With strong hand and an outsrretched arm,
A did cause him to flee from the land of his
birth. which is toward the rising ofthe sun,
into strange land toward the going do xn
thereoE-and did cause my Prophet to
follow after him. and prophecy concerning
him, and to declare to my people, that he
was unhely and unclean. But thou and thy
servant Timothy didst harrangue my people
and didst cause the m to believe that nv
Prophet was lying Prophet, and thus my
people we're again deceived by thee, concer
ming Henry the swine-drover, and he was,
by thy fraud and by the fraud Of thy disci.
pies, placed again in the councils ofthe peo-
pie to deal unjustly towards them, and to
turn out ofoffice some of my servants, whom
had Amounted to fill these offices-and
thou didst put in Thomas the Shepherd,
William the Silversmith, as we'll as Morde-
cal the King in their place-a thing which
I commanded thee not to do.
Now, be it known unto thee. OH Morde.
cal! that for all this, will bring thee into
judgement, together with Timothy the law
yer and Peter the Tishubite, and Thomas
the Shepherd, aud Henry the swine. drover,
as we'll as Peter the lesser. Re it known
unto thee. oh King! that there are others,
who were my people in times past, but now
are not my people, because they have gone
over to the Phlistnes,-yet their cries and
their wales have heard.--Now, there
fore. unless thou repent and redeem unto
Lucius 1scariot that thou didst promise un.
to him in times past, that, if he would for
sake my people ard 60 over to the help of
the Philistines, and cry continually for their
cause, till they should triumph over tie
cause of my people. which he did perform
according to thy promise, ana did go over to
the Phiiistines, and cried aloud and spa red
not until the whole tribe Of Mordec cal pre-
vailed.
Then it came to pass, in the third month
and twenty fourth day Of tho month, that
the King gave the dulcimcr particular
sound and behold the Sanhedrim otthe Phil

vide the spoils that they had taken from nv

Shepcrd, and Solomon the Great, and Fran.
CHS the Retailer. and Peter the Tishubite,
and besides, l know not that there were
any others.
Peradventure, came Lucuis Iscarior who
had been deceived by the PhiIistines, and
stood IN the midst Of them, and bowed to
the ground and cried with loud voice. and
said, Long live Mordecai!-Lopg live the
King of the Philislines!!
Then the King was pleased. and beckoned
with his hand, and said to the Sanhedrm,
Wait the pleasure of our servant Lucius!
Then Lucius Iscariot said:-I pray thee,
on King! restore unto me the office, former
" kept by my father, lest become hiss
and by word, and reproach to this people,
Then the King of the Philistines looked
wrath! and his countenance was changed!
Then Narcisse the Miller rose up, and
cried with loud voice, and sad:-Lucius
lscariot command thee, in the name Of
the King ofthe Philstines. get thee hence,
for we know not whence tn GU art!
Then Mordecai, the King, and al, the
Sanhedrm of the Philistines said AMEN!!!
Then the knees Of Lucius lscariot smote
together and his countenance was fallen and
ne turned away sorrowful, and went out and
wept bitterly! .... 49, 49,.
Now, therefore, be it known unto thee,
Mordecai, that for all this, bring thee
to judgment; and the Queen of the South,
the wife Of Zachary, the King. shall rise 10
in the day ofJudgment, and shall condemn
thee, and the whole tribe of Mordecai.
