You amt as smart as you think you

| know that am not drunkard, or
murderer or an idolater and | know /
have nothing to do with witch craft or
any other of those charges contained in
those two verses you referred me to.
If | couldn't find something that would

and you stopped or got where you had
to stop, and then you started subject
with preacher in Kentucky and, got
scooped out for you knew he was the
best man, andsyou quit him. You are
as bad as a red worm. You will start
like you are going somewhere and then
when you get cornered you viii crawl
back. Now, Hardscrabble, will refer
you to the 9Th chapter and 18th verse
of Matthew Blessed are we when
men shall revile you and prosecute you
and shall say all manner of evil things
against you falsely for my sake, also
you can turn to the 18th chapter of
Matthew and the list and Bird verses,

that chapter referred you to and obey
it you will not be writing such insults.
You know Blessed are the peace
makers for they shall be called the

htink you will see what you are do
ing. You can see that you are no
peace maker but fuss raiser. You
just started on this to break peace SO
just go on. 1 can show you / have
just as long tongue as you and /
