this thy city. then will thy sarvar IA
rejoice, and have. pleasure in the
day wherein tisey saw the land where
thou dwellest Now IL cam d To pass,
that, as they desired, so it was done
unto them; and, when their eyes
had looked upon the place where the
ropes and Irvine were made, and also
upon the place where the youth as
semble TO be taught IN all the learn
ing Of the. land, they return again
unto the house Of Jacob whose sur
name is,.Shinn, and ipstLe same hour,
Bald vim, the great, lifted up his
voice, and saith tlIito him, behold,
now, the eyes of thy servants have
looked upon thy greatness, and upon
the fairness of thy city, wherein thou
soiourneth; now, therefore. it shall
please thy servant, If thoa shalt SAY
unto him, send unto me fossy and
ten copies of the records, the Sift-
ings, wherein shall be written all the
mighty words Of my mouth, Which
are now in the mind of thy servant
to write unto the people of the whole
earth. But Jacob saith unto him,
now is thy speech beautiful, and the
words OF thy mouth, are they not
true, wherewith thou speakest Of
the city where thy servant dwellest;
but verify say unto thee, the thing
which thou desirest wherein thou
wantest the shekels OF silver for the
forty and ten copies Of the words of
thy mouth, behold, it is not pleas
ant to thy servant. Then the voice
OF Baldwin waxed louder, and he.
said what, and wilt thou not take
the records wherein had thought
to write all the mighty words of my
mouth? But Jacob saith words like
unto his first, that the thing pleased
him not, and his mind delighted not
in the records to take them.
Then was the fashionof Baldwin
countenance changed, and he was
exceedingly wroth, and the form Of
his speech was altered, and he saith,
had thought to bring thy glory to
the whole world, but because thy
mind is not to give unto thy servant
what he desireth, now, therefore, is
be sore displcased, and, 10, i'll had
known this in the hour wherein l
said I will abide in thy city, ! had
no. set foot upon the soil where thou
walkest.
Then said he to his companion.
for as much as this man doeth not to
please US, let us depart hence unto
another place. Then comcth they
to the house of them whose custom
Is the law, and say unto them, 4
Inv servants have tonnd favor in thy
sight, we pray thee that thou might
eso bring joy unto thy servants in
The thing wherein we desire to send
yhee the recoress wherein the words
Of Baldwin shall. be written. But
the lawyers say unto him, nav verify,
for the thing which we desire, IS not
meet in our eyes. Then becometh
they exceeding wroth, and their
anger did burn, and they say unto
him that is older of the lawyers, be-
hold, thou and Jacob, are We not To-
gies in the land where you dwell,
whose bodies have not been bashed
for 10 these many years? Then saith
the lawyer, forasmuch as thy words
are not pleasant in mine ears, shere-
fore it shall be well with thee, il
thou addest unto the distance be-
tween me and thee, and Immediately
they departed thence, and then
hearts were heavy within them. Arc
they cometh unto the inn that is
called Whites, and saith unto the
young man, if it please thee to fetch
us the vallse, then will thy servants
have joy, for therein is contained
that which is precious-even the
wonderful tit medicine whereby is
prevented that which would befall
thy servant, in the day that the fits
would take us; and they reached
forth, and took the valise, and ga.
therefrom that which contained the
medicine in length like unto a mans
arm from the wrist to the elbow,
and, behold, their manners together
with the vessel which contalneth The
medicine, we're not pleasant to look
upon, and pleased not the young
man, and his countenance waxed
bold, and he SAID, If you be subject
to fits, behold, are there not other
places where you may drink your
medicine, for thus itspleaseth us moi
that we may drink 1T in this house
Now let thine eyes behold the door
and / pray thee depart hence, lest
thy servants anger burn against thee
to force thee, forasmuch as thy
manners and the fit medicine have
not brought Joy to this house. And
suddenly they departed thence, and
