And the hand of providence hath smiled upon you most pleasingly,

that you have obtained many riches;

and because some of you have obtained more abundantly

because of the costliness of your apparel,

and persecute your brethren

because ye suppose that ye are better than they.

And because of the strictness of the word of God,

which cometh down against you,

many hearts died, pierced with deep wounds.

And a hundredth part of the proceedings of this people,

which now began to be numerous,

cannot be written upon these plates;

but many of their proceedings are written upon the larger plates,

and their wars, and their contentions, and the reigns of their kings.
