by their swords and the loss of blood,

they being shielded from the more vital parts of the body,

or the more vital parts of the body being shielded

from the strokes of the Lamanites,

by their breastplates, and their armshields, and their head-plates;

and thus the Nephites did carry on the work of death among the Lamanites.

Yea, and this is not all;

and come not again to war against us.

therefore as the Lord liveth, ye shall not depart

except ye depart with an oath

that ye will not return again against us to war.

we will spill your blood upon the ground,

or ye shall submit to the conditions which I have proposed.
