sins may be forgiven you, you shall
not break My commandments, but
observe and keep them written with
my own hand.
You shall not only go to church
yourself, but your man servant and
your maid servant to observe my
word and My commandments. You
shall finish your labor every Satur-
day at 6 o'clock p. m. for at that

fully labor in your respective voca-
ton wherein it has pleased the Al
mighty God to place you.

and be made members thereof, and
so doing l will give many blessings,

surely he that doeth to contrary
shall be cursed and Improbable. ]

believe not In this and keep not my
commandments / will send my pla-

do them any damage; neither pestel-
ence, lightning or thunder shall hurt
