without doing any manner OF work.
You shall not idly misspend your time in
bedecking yourselves with supertiultles
Of costly apparel, and in dresses, Tor l
have ordained it day of rest; will
have it kept holy that your sins may be
forgiven you. You shall not break my
commandments, but bserve and keep
them-written with my own hand; write
them on your hearts, and steadfastly OBJ
serve this was written with my own
hand, spoken with my own mouth. You
shall not only 60 to church your own
selves, but also your man servants ana
YOUR maid servants, and observe my
words and learn my commandments;
YOU shall finish your labor every Satur-
dav, in the afternoon by six OF the cock,
at which hour the preparation of the
Sabbath begins.
7 advise YOU to fast five Fridays in
eyerv year, beginning with Good Friday,
and continue the four Fridays immedl-
ately following, in remembrance OF the
five bloody wounds which received for
all mankind. You shall diligently and
peacefully labor in your respective voca
tions, wherein it hath pleased God to call
YOU. You shall love one another with
brotherly love, and cause them that are
not baptized to come to church and hear
the holy sacrament, viz: Baptism and
the Lords Supper, and be mad mem
bers thereof; in doing so I will give long
life and many blessings, and your land
shall replenish and bring forth abun-
dance. I will give many blessings and
comfort you in the greatest temptations,
and surely he that doeth the contrary
shall be cursed and Improbable. l Will
also send hardness of heart upon them
until have destroyed them, but espe-
ciollv upon the hardened and impenitent
unbelievers. He that hath given to the
Door shall not be improbable. Renem

the seventh day I have taken to myself:
and he that hath copy of this letter.

with my own mouth, and keeping 1t
without publishing it to others shall not
prosper, but he that publishes it to 9TH
ers shall be blessed Of me, and though
his sins be in numbers as the stars OF
the sky, if he believes in this, ne shall
be pardoned, and if he believes not IN
this writing and my commandments,
shall send my plaques upon him, and Will
consume both him and his children and
his cattle; and whosoever shall have a
COPY of this letter, written with my own
hand, and keep it in his house, nothing
shall hurt him, neither pestilence, thun-
der nor lightning shall do them any
hurt; and if woman be with child and
if a copy of this Letter be about her, and
she shall firmly put her trust in me, she
shall be safely delivered Of her birth.
You shall have no news of me but by
the holy Spirit until the day OF judg,
ment. All goodness and prosperity shall
be in the house where a copy OF TINS
letter shall be found. Signed, &c.
King Agbarus' Letter to Our Saviour.
I have heard Of thee, and Of the cures
wrought by thee without herb or medi-
cine. For, as it is reported, thou restor-
eth sight to the blind, maketh the lame
to walk, cleanseth the leaper, raiseth the
dead, and healeth those that are tor
mented with disease of long continu-
ance.
Having heard all these things of thee,
I was fully persuaded that thou art
either the very God that cometh down
from heaven to do such miracles-or else
that thou art the Son of God, and per-
formest them. Wherefore I have sent
these lines, entreating thee to come
hither, and cure my disease; be-
sides having heard that the Jews muir
mur against and try to do thee michies.
1 invite thee to my city, which is lit
tie one indeed, but beautiful, and suti-
cient to entertain us both.
