THE THIRD EPlsTLE OF THE
BOOK OF TIMOTHY:
Othersoise called the Book Of .AKordecar
The spirit Of prophecy came again upon
me. in the Fifth month and Four and TWEEN j..
tieta Gay OF tie month. saying: take thy pen
again and write on this wise unto Mordecai
the hiDg OF the Philistines, and say unto
|hIm:-Eehold, have not spoken once. yea
twice, by the mouth of my prophet unto
thee, and thou hast not hearkened unto nv
wordsi but hast stiffened thy neck and har.
dened thy heart, and turned q deaf ear to all
that commanded thee to do concerning nv
people: Therefore, be it known unto
thee. on Mordeca, that have sorer Judge.
ments in reserve for thee, than those declar-
ed BY my former prophet. will cause nv
prophet Erexiel to write an Epistle to thee,
concerning thy treatment towards nv ser
wants Philip, the Attest, and John the
JCouncillor:-Fof behold. didst thou not deal
with them wickedly. as thou didst with Lu
cius, lscariot? Ddst thou not say unto them
Behold, is not all the North county miho,
and all that there is therein?-and have
not the power to bestow Upon whom I vii,
please?--and will not reward my faithful!
much more. those, who forsake their
friends, and their houses, and their lands,
and come out from among my enemies, and
set their faces like Adament against them
and plead my cause?-Now, therefore, be it
SHOWN unto thee, Philip, if thou and thy
servant, John the Councillor, will come out
from among thy former people. and will
swear allegiance to me and my people, tn en-
multiplying. ! will multiply thee, and vii.
fill thy Golfers with gold and with silver,
and will give to thee and to John, the
Councillor, great name in the land, and
my people shall respect thee, and bow dow
to thee and thy seed after thee forever.
Then John, the Councillor. and Philip
the Artist, anG Lucius, Iscario: held coun.
Gil together, and turned to Mofdecai, the
King Of the Philistines; and said, oil! King!
put thy left hand under the bone ofthy left
thigh, and sware unto US, this day, tina,
thou wilt perform all thv vows, that thou
hast this day vowed unto US. Then tho
King did put his LEFT hand under the left
bone of his thigh, and swore unto them
that he would bestow upon them and their
seed after them, all the North country, for
an everlasting possession,-yea. will get
to thee. and thy kinsman a great name, and
they shall rule over my people forever. And
l will place thee and John. the Councillor.
D1ctators over my people, ahd they shall a.
venge Thy former enemies.
Then Philip The Artist, and John the Coun.
eillor. otherwise called the Sorcerer, and
Lucius lscariot went out and called all The
softs together, and said on this wise. Unto
them:-Lo and Behold, have we not this
many years served the Democracy of our
country, and what profit have wei Now,
we beseech you, let US ali 20 over unto Nor
decai, the King of the Phlllstines:-for we
have, this day obtained IN oath from him.
that II we vii! 60 over to the Phil1stines
and defeat the Republican party of the
North country. then will the King give IN.
to me, and to John the Sorcerer the first
and second Offices in his kingdom, and Lu-
clIs lscarot will he send Emba ssador 10
the court OF King Zachary the great.
Now, therefore, ifthou wilt but aid tis in
this great work, then will we give unto
thee oxen and asses, and wine and strobg
drink, that thou mayest make mellow.
Then the sol,s said be it now unto thee
oh Philip, that if thou wilt give unto us
wine and strong drink, then thy fate il our
fate, and we will 60 over to the Philistines
against our brethren and our kinsmen.
Then, when the Jay ofiubilee was come,
DID not Philip. the Artist. ard John the
sorcerer, and Lucius Iscariot and all the
softs iSerssSke my people, and 60 over to the
tribe Of Mordeceei. and for time did seem
to prevail over my people!
Then. it came to pass, thst Mordecai re-.
pented Of his oath, ard wouiI net do unto
Philip the Artist, and John the sorcere:; as
he swore unto them. Then the softs were
earaged at Philip, the Artist and John. the
sorcere-, because they got not the oxen and
tho asses, and more especially the wine and
the strong drink;-a the evil spirit came
upon them, and they did drive Philip the
Artist and John the Sorcerer, from the land
that thou didst swear to give them and their
seed after them, into the wilderness, tow.
ards the land Of the Mexicans.
Now, therefore, be it known unto thee.
oh Mordecai; should Philip the Artist and
John the Sorcerer perish by the way, or
should any evil come upon them, or should
any beast of prey devour them, be it known
unto thee, oh King, that their blood will
require at thy hands. But the sins OF Luz
cius lscariot. otherwise known as Lucius
the green one, shall not, oh Merdecai, from
hence forth be imputed unto thee, nor to
the Phillstines, for thou hast delt with him,
in these latter days, as my people did in
times past, in the days of James, King of
my pecple;-for thou hast turned him out
from the Sanhedrim of the Phlistsnes, to
wander to and fro i'm the earth
And the spirit Of the evil one hath entered
into him, and hath caused HIM to speak lies
concerning my people.-Now, for this, be
it known unto thee, oh Lucius, that it shall
come to pass, that through that press, which
should now belong to my servent George.
thou shalt be made to barry like an Ass, and
l will cause thy feet to be hoofed. and thou
shalt cat grass like an OK, all the days of thy
life, and thus shall tho whole land know
that my prophet is the true prophet, and
that thou art Of Satan the prophet of Delio.
Thus ends the third Epistle of the Book
Of Mordicai.
