and the time is soon at hand except ye repent.

Behold these six onties, which are of great worth,

but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame,

as it is now, or in the body,

and shall be brought and be arraigned

before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit,

which is one Eternal God,

to be judged according to their works,

whether they be good or whether they be evil.
