Now in this thing we do rejoice;

will receive them with thankful hearts,

and look upon them that they may learn with joy

and not with sorrow, neither with contempt,

concerning their first parents.

For, for this intent have we written these things,

and we have many revelations and the spirit of prophecy;

Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth,

let him prophesy to the understanding of men;

for the Spirit speaketh the truth and lieth not.

wherefore, these things are manifested unto us plainly,

for the salvation of our souls.

But behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things;

for God also spake them unto prophets of old.

and I will graft them whithersoever I will.

Take thou the branches of the wild olive tree,

And these will I place in the nethermost part of my vineyard,

whithersoever I will, it mattereth not unto thee;

and I do it that I may preserve unto myself the natural branches of the tree;

for it grieveth me that I should lose this tree and the fruit thereof.

And he said unto the servant:

Behold, the branches of the wild tree

have taken hold of the moisture of the root thereof,

that the root thereof hath brought forth much strength;

and because of the much strength of the root thereof

the wild branches have brought forth tame fruit.

which the tree thereof hath brought forth;

and the fruit thereof I shall lay up against the season, unto mine own self.

Take of the fruit thereof, and lay it up against the season,

that I may preserve it unto mine own self;

for behold, said he, this long time have I nourished it,

and it hath brought forth much fruit.

save it be to be hewn down and cast into the fire.

which we have taken of my vineyard,

the trees thereof have become corrupted,

that they bring forth no good fruit;

and they are of no worth but to be hewn down and cast into the fire;

and it grieveth me that I should lose them.

Wherefore, let us take of the branches of these

which I have planted in the nethermost parts of my vineyard,

and graft in the natural branches of the tree in the stead thereof.

and dung them once more, for the last time,

for the end draweth nigh.

then shall ye prepare the way for them, that they may grow.
