is. But the Phiretahs were wise 10
their generation. and they saw that the
Dimmicbrats were OF no more use unto
them, and that because the men Of
BeIial had prevailed against the Dim
michrats, their power was gone in their
provinces; and so AS they could no
more use the Dimmichrsls. they would
not listen to them. and spurned their
compromising. and spat upon it. and
went on II destroy the nation, and pre-
pared to make war against Abraham il
he should begia to rule over them.
II. Now in those days there was a
man in Gotham named Ken Edee,
who was chief captain OF the watch
men of the city and the region round
about; and 10 JoaJi was man named
Robert who dwelt among the tombs.
and who was possessed OF an evil spirit
whose name was Blustsh. And Rob-
ert was Phiretah.
IS. And Ken Edee chief captain Of
the watch in Gotham, found arms go
ing from Gotham TO the Phiretahs in
Joarji, and he seized them. For he
said. Lest they be used to destroy the
nation. and against the Great Cove
nant. which is the supreme law in the
land Of Unculpsalm, to which first be-
Iongeth nv obedience.
10. Then Robert. who dwelt
among the tombs. being seized upon
by his demon BIustah, sent threaten
ing message unto Phernandiwud.
90. (Fnr at this time Phernandi-
wud was chief ruler 10 the city OF Co.
tham.
81. Saying. Wherefore keep ye
the arms of the Phiretahs? Give them
unto US that we may make war against
you. or it shall be worse for you.
99. Then Phernandiwud. because
he hated the chief OF the watchman OF
Gotham. and because he hoped for the
good success of the Pbiretahs, com.
promised himself unto Robert, and
crswled on his belly before him in the
dust, and said. Is thy servant man
that he should do this thing? Thy
servant keep no arms. neither would
he do so. Let them who have the
evil spirit Bak Bohn do thus unto my
lords the Pkiretahs. Behold, thy SER
want is no man, but a Plunkee.
%. (Now the Plunkees we're men
who had never had the spirit Bak
Bohn. or who had had it cast out of
them. because when they would have
prostrated themselves and humbled
themselves in the dust and compro
missed to their profit. the spirit rent
them sore. So they had each OF them
his Bak Bohn cast out OF bin.
"a. And the Phiretahs went on
their way without hindersnce. For
James, by facing both ways. faced nei
tber; and both Of the men Of the South
and the men Of the North he was not
regarded. And the nation spued him
out OF its mouth.
95. And Abraham ruled the land.
But the PhIretahs withstood him. and
made war upon him, and drove his
captains out OF the strongholds which
were in their provinces. and humbled
the banner Of Unculpsalm.
&c. Then all the men Of the North.
even the Dimmichrats. OF whom we're
the Pahdees. were exceeding wroth,
and the rose up against the Phiretahs
Of the South. and marched against
them to drive them out OF the strong
places which they had seized. and to
plant thereunto again the banner of Un.
culpsslm.
81. For they all had exceeding
reverence for the Great Covenant. and
they were filed with pride Of their ma
tion. its might. and irs wealth, and its
vsstness. and chiefly that its people
were more free than any other people.
and that its tillers of the soil and its
wayfaring men could read and under
stand. and that there each man sat
under his own vine and under his own
fig tree with none to modest him or
make him afraid. And they Worship
ped the banner Of Unculpsalm. and its
folds we're unto them as the vines OF a
protecting angel.
98. Moreover. the Dimmichrsts
said, We have striven for our brethen
of the South against the men Of Belial.
