O ye workers of iniquity;

ye that are puffed up in the vain things of the world,

and is still calling after you,

but ye will not hearken unto his voice!

behold, ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd.

of what fold are ye?

Behold, I say unto you,

whosoever denieth this is a liar and a child of the devil.

Behold, the ax is laid at the root of the tree;

even an unquenchable fire.

Behold, and remember, the Holy One hath spoken it.

all you that are desirous to follow the voice of the good shepherd,

come ye out from the wicked,

that the names of the wicked shall not be numbered

among the names of the righteous,

that the word of God may be fulfilled, which saith:

The names of the wicked shall not be mingled with the names of my people;

if ye speak against it, it matters not,

for the word of God must be fulfilled.

that ye may not be destroyed.

I speak by way of invitation, saying:

Come and be baptized unto repentance,

that ye also may be partakers of the fruit of the tree of life.
