! IT And it came 10 pass that when
the Lord began to reign in The city, He
commanded his people to build q mighty
house for Him to dwell in,

GERS and sill His people together, so
they could reason among theselves q bout
the building Of q large mansionf for the
Lord. 81fr-JITRHyOMaQ" d.g
3 And when they had gathered
themselves together, they all agreed
among themselves, that the mighty mans
sion for their Lord should be built Of
brick and upon the highest hill
within the mighty CITY, aud
not low down in the sand liken unto
the place where the Chief Ruler and
His mighty men did build the Rsilway
Shops. aaii ~l't 20 a.hH fl''I
4 And the officers of the Lord rea'
soned among themselves, and Sayoth one
to another: The mighty hill where the
mansion shall be built, shall henceforth
and forever be called "The Heights"
5 And the Lord looked down upon
his people and smiled upon them, and
said, YEA, YEA.
6 And even unto this day the nigh
ty hill is called "Tbe Hights;" and the
people from afar off look upon the migh>
ty mansion with wonder and astonish'
ment.
Z And more than three score and ten
layers Of brick and hewers Of wood goeth
forth and buildeth the Great Mansion
for the Lord. But the historians in
gathering up the acts and dOiDgs of the
Lord failesh to understand whether the
many laborers received all their haTd'
armed pieces Of silver, as the Lord is very
slow on the payment to His laborers OF
all pieces of silver round about the num-
Der of EIdHTY-FIvE. Ho.
8 And the Lord removeth unto His
Great Mansion, where He could over all

the city, even all the lands In the Nigh
Province.

laws and orders for the government Of
the people, evan setting at Daught oil
the laws Of the First Chic: Ruler.
10 And it came TO pass that " great
many poor people came to dwell In the
city, inasmuch as the Lord had promised
them many things, even many pieces Of
silver and many leaves and fishes, if
they would come and dwell with Him
in the Province, for their labor on the
mighty works in the city. ea

nical, because there was about to be a
famine among the poor and suffering
people, as He refused to give them
enough OF pieces Of silver, and %loaves,
and fishes, and many other small nscss'
saries Of life. .r.I sa.
IL And it came to pass that the
Lord reasoDeth with himself and said: l,
the Lord, do find, upon overlooking
the city from this, my, mansion, that
more than four-score aud one hundred
young lads Of the city are around upon
my lands stealing more than ten baskets
full, and that all the hundreds and thou-
sands Of acres of land round about the
city, over which I reign, is insufficient
to support these poor, miserable, wicked
"crcatures,' even "those Buckeyes" and
"those Irish," whom /, the Lord, have
in my power, and in such q reduced
state Of poverty that they can not 60
afar off to dwell in other lands; b5y,
ID And, j, therefore, warn all ye
that dwell in the city, in the name Of oil
law and commandment, in the name Of
all statutes and judgment, to treSpass not
against the Lord, as the wrath Of the
Lord shall come upon you, and upon
your brethren, even for many genera

more plain during my reign in this my
land, /, therefore, by virtue Of the pow

Ruler Of the city, by the constitution and
the laws Of this Province, in such case
made and provided by me, issue this
