which broke, letting him down upon the
horses and to the ground. BY the fan and

CHRONICLES.
And it came to pass, in the days Of the
reign of good King James, who was ruler
over the land of Columbia, one Esculapius,
which being interpreted meaneth healer of
the sick, came to a city situate in a far off
province called Paw Paw. And he looked
abroad over the city and said TO himself,
verify this is a fair and goodly city and here
will cast my lot, and here will / wax fat
and grow strong and lay by a goodly store
of corn and wine and here will / spend my
declining years in the midst of peace and Of
plenty.
And it came TO pass that Esculapius had
with him a ceItain woman from another
province, and he said unto the good people
of the city, verify have / come among you to
stay, and behold have brought with me the
wife of my bosom, and here will we dwell in
your midst.
Howbeit, the words which he uttered were
words of deceit and his heart was filed with
guile, for the woman was in nowise his wife,
but the wife of man in another far off
province in the land of Columbia, and Es-
culapius himself was the husband of another.
And it also came to pass that the wife of
Esculapius did hear that her husband was
filling the ears of the people of the city with
lying and deceitful words, and she communed
within herself saying, verify l will go down
to the far off city and mine eyes shall see the
things which mine ears have heard. And as
she said, even so she did. And when she
had come into the city, she did send for the
Kings officers and told them of these things
concerning which she had heard.
And behold the Kings officers said unto
her, make thyself ready, put on thine outer
garments and come with us and verify thine
eyes shall behold the manifold iniquities of
thine husband.
And as she was bidden, even so she did
and she went with the Kings officers. and
behold these things which We're told her,
were true, and with her eyes did she see
them And behold there were many words
and much speech between the two women,
but the tongue of Esculapius c!ave to the
roof of his mouth and his speech did desert
him.
And it came TO pass that the Kings officers
did say unto him, put away this woman
concerning whom thou didst deceive the
people, and receive III her stead thine own
wife, and repent thou of thine evil deeds.
And he did even as he was commanded and
put away the strange woman and received
his wife once more.
And it came to pass that after time he
did reason in his own heart saying, verify,
verify, this city is not goodly city, neither
will l dwell within the borders thereof And
he arose and shook the dust of the city from
his feet, and the city knoweth him no more.
Selah.
