/. NoE it came to pass in the latter days that
Daniel was King over all the Chidrea of iona
than, which had waxed many and ia: in the land.
And by reasons which the prophet detaieth not,
Daniels head was turned and he went after
strange gods and bis strength was turned into
foolishness for the strange gods, which be no
gods bad turned away his heart from serving
the Lord, persuading him that there was no
Higher Law, but great men might do what
seemed them best
J. At that time there were many OF the sons OF
men whom the Southernites had stolen, and made
slaves OF them, hurting their teet with letters and
setting them 10 sore bondage. Yea, there were
three times a thousand thousand thereof
3. Divers Of them had escaped from the hands
of the oppressor, even as the Children Of Israel
had fled out of the land Of bondage; and they
went INTO the Northerntes who reverenced the
word of the Lord and hid the outcast letting him
DIV ell where it liked him best and eat his mOrsel
4 Bat this escaping of the Fugitves was
sore thing unto the SOuthernites, for with them
such be reckoned but as cattle and beasts that
perish and the Lord God is esteemed only az
dumb idol. 1t grieved also the heart OF Daniel.
s. And he said, reasoning with himself, buzz not
Alright 60 10, now | will get to myself great
honor by betrayiug the outcast into the hands OF
such as seek his life yea, will cause tue eyes
Of the needy TO fail then shall get me much sill
yer and gold yes, aud Texas scrip also Ia great
store.
q. So he called together the magicians, aud the
astrologers, and the sOothsayers. aud the sorcer-
ers and all the pnlllstines who had taken the Ark
of the Constituti0n out q the hands Of the LORDS
people them aud everything that loveth and
makoth lie. And they gathered together IN the
great city OF jonathan, whittier the tribes go up to
the great Sanhedrim.
7. Then they made a decree, and sent it forth
unto all the tribes, unto the Governors, aud the
Princes, and the Judges, and the Marshais, aud
the Commissioners, and the Deputies and the
Bailiffs, and the Tithng men, saying:
= o, ye children of Jonathan We shall assured
ly catch every poor man that We WILL and deliver
him up to such as shall claim him, and he shall be
their slave. We shall make haste to do SO. Let
all people obey the decree, as they desire money.
Q. Moreover, Daniel appointed him Scribes and
a Satrap in every tribe, TO execute the decree, to
bewray the wanderers, to sell the needy for
pair OF shoes and TO cast down such of the LORDS
people as were ready to perish.
/ TO- Then, Daniel was q lad and rejoced, and com
lorted himself greatly, saying: Now is the winter
of our discomfort made glorious summer. The
strange women also made their hearts merry, and
all the hosts of the ungOdly, saying,-Whe IS
now their GOD
H. So the decree was sealed with the seal OF
Jonathan, and sent out into all the land from sea
10 sea- and the sons OF Beal rejOiced, and their
] foolish heart was uhrKeneu. ID " TIC SohS VI b"o
godly lifted up their voices and Wept, as 1t was
/ said by them of old time, When the wicked roe
the people mourn. Yea, Rachel mourned for her
| children and would not be cOm'orted, for Daniels
eye had 10 compassion on the babes OF the poor,
/ longing to dash the little ones IN pieces
70. Now there is great city OF the Northern
ties which lieth to the eastward on the sea shore,
as thou goest down to the old country, and 1t Is
called Boston. The same is great city, and rich,
and one mighty pleasant to dwell in, il thou have
silver and gold enough, and also, much brass, and
keep the traditions OF the Elders after the fashion
I of the townsfok but it went hard with the god
/ ly there.
10 This city is also called The Athens Of iona
than; peradventure, because, like the Athens OF
the Greeks, it was given TO idolatry. Some OF
the merchants thereof are called Princes, because
they trusted in uncertain riches, and sought Lord
ship over other men, even their betters, as did
also the princes OF the Gentiles.
a. In that city there was exceeding much pe0-
pie yea, nine hundred and four score and seven
men grown, who knew not the right from the
wrong but called Good Evil, and f vii they called
Good Likewise there was much cattle, aud
ships, aad shops, AID household stuf, and fine
twiued linen, which no man can measure.
Is. And in that city, there was a street called
Milk-peradventure, because it Is the dwelling
place Of so many Of the babes and Stockings Of
l6. In that city they did worship many aud
strange Gods whereof the chief was called
Money. an idol whose head was of fine gold, the
belly Of silver and legs OF copper; bat second
thereto was another notable idol, called Cotton.
Unto this latter they did sacrifice, and built him
Hgh.places and Factories, by the brooks that run
among the hills, and bowed down and worshipped
him. say ing, Cotton, help us; Cotton help us
Yea, they made their children pass through the
mill unto Cotton, aud he was unto many OF them
as Conscience.
II. Now, when toe decree came to Boston,
divers ofthe merchants, and ofthe money changers
not q few and also of babes and stockings, IN and
about the street called Milk, rejoiced thereat
with the mob Of Belial who worshipped Cotton.
For they said, We shall now be sayory unto the
Southerntes and they willlay tax called in their
tongue Tariff upon the people, for the w"or'
shipers of Cotton, and the people will sacrifice
unto our net aud our drag and, like the sons OF
Eli, we shall share in the sacrifice.
Is Then they held a meeting, and cried our
Great ia Cotton of the B0stonians there is no
God but Cotton and Money no King but Daniel
nothing better than riches, and 10 Justice, out
only the Statutes Of men,
10 likewise the nine hundred and four score
and seven who knew not Good from Eyl, tney
added further, and wrote letter unto u anie con
ceruirc the decree and they said, 1t Is the voice
of a God, and not OF man, nearing II vas Tue
voice OF Cotton.
90 Howbeit there were yet others who said
stoutly vet in weakness, Nay no ", le 10 WICKED
thing 70 keen this decree, and we VIII not heed IL,
as the LORD livetb, who brought up our fathers
out Of England and helped US nightly at Lexing-
ton ard Bunker Hill Thereupon they looked at
the monument and they said, Ebenezer Hitherto
hath the Lord helped us.
q. SO thew babe the outcasts to tary even in
Boston saving. Be ye Of good cheer If the Lord
be on our side who shall rise up against as
20. Now there was a certain SGtrap in Boston
named Charles appointed TO ensnare the ou.csstr
and to watch tor his hating. The same was an
upright man and modest, yea cemely without
and not evil in his heart albeit be swore by Cot
ton to keep thel law. This man was accused unto
Daniel. that he could not do a disagreeable duty
and with alacrity So he was had before the
King in bis palace, to shew causeo ms siac1ness'
