Because I do not teach the foolish traditions of your fathers,

and because I do not teach this people to bind themselves down

under the foolish ordinances and performances

which are laid down by ancient priests,

to usurp power and authority over them,

to keep them in ignorance,

that they may not lift up their heads,

but be brought down according to thy words.

and that they durst not enjoy their rights and privileges.

which doth lead their hearts to wander far from thee, our God.

it is well that ye are cast out of your synagogues,

that ye may be humble, and that ye may learn wisdom;

that ye are brought to a lowliness of heart;

for ye are necessarily brought to be humble.

Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart,

behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed,

that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord,

behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts;

and when you feel these swelling motions,

ye will begin to say within yourselves —

yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding,

yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me.

in nourishing it, that it may take root in you,

and which is white above all that is white,

yea, and pure above all that is pure;

that ye hunger not, neither shall ye thirst.
