who had sent in their voices with their petitions

concerning the altering of the law.

who sought power and authority over the people.

for such contentions to be among the people of Nephi;

for behold, Amalickiah had again stirred up

the hearts of the people of the Lamanites against the people of the Nephites,

and arming them, and preparing for war with all diligence;

for he had sworn to drink the blood of Moroni.
