not satisfied, inasmuch as he could
not with his own eyes behold the
fearful havoc being done by his
wonderfully made Blade.

within him to know what the
people said about him.
3. And he sent two spies into
the city to spy upon the people and
find out what they did say about
him.
4 And the spies made their
way into the city and did spy upon
the people thereof, and talk with
them in the highways and in the
byways, and even in the Temple
and synagogues did the spies
go and spy upon the people

into the wilderness, even
unto the land of Russell, where
they did seek the cave in which
Charles the Mower was hidden.

him they opened their mouths and
spake unto him, saying:
Z. We have been into the city,
as thou didst command us, Oh!

spy upon the people therein.

temple and the synagogues, in the
highways and in the byways of
The city, and in all other places
therein.

people therein say many wicked
things against thee and thy Won
lerful and fearfully made weapon,
the Blade. 1s9~-~--

spake against thee are persons of
influence and in high authority.

and unto one another:

Blade, and wounds US sorely.
II. For which we have given
him no cause. Therefore will we
gather ourselves together aud go
into the wilderness and seek him
and slay him.
13. Yea; even into tie land of
Russell will we pursue and hunt
him, and when we have found him
We will slay him.
IA. And destroy from the face OF
the earth, which it polluteth, that
wonderful and fearfully made
weapon, the Blade.

afraid, and his knees smote to-
gether and his teeth did chatter in
his mouth.
Is. And he smote his breast and
wept.
