Alma 59:13

And it came to pass that Moroni was angry with the government,

because of their indifference concerning the freedom of their country.

Alma 60:10

And now, my beloved brethren —

for ye ought to be beloved;

yea, and ye ought to have stirred yourselves more diligently

for the welfare and the freedom of this people;

but behold, ye have neglected them

insomuch that the blood of thousands shall come upon your heads for vengeance;

yea, for known unto God were all their cries, and all their sufferings —

Alma 60:16

Yea, had it not been for the war which broke out among ourselves;

yea, were it not for these king-men,

who caused so much bloodshed among ourselves;

yea, at the time we were contending among ourselves,

if we had united our strength as we hitherto have done;

yea, had it not been for the desire of power and authority

which those king-men had over us;

had they been true to the cause of our freedom,

and united with us, and gone forth against our enemies,

instead of taking up their swords against us,

which was the cause of so much bloodshed among ourselves;

yea, if we had gone forth against them in the strength of the Lord,

we should have dispersed our enemies,

for it would have been done, according to the fulfilling of his word.

Alma 60:25

And except ye grant mine epistle,

and come out and show unto me a true spirit of freedom,

and strive to strengthen and fortify our armies,

and grant unto them food for their support,

behold I will leave a part of my freemen to maintain this part of our land,

and I will leave the strength and the blessings of God upon them,

that none other power can operate against them —

Alma 60:27

And I will come unto you,

and if there be any among you that has a desire for freedom,

yea, if there be even a spark of freedom remaining,

behold I will stir up insurrections among you,

even until those who have desires to usurp power and authority

shall become extinct.

Alma 60:30

Behold, I wait for assistance from you;

and, except ye do administer unto our relief,

behold, I come unto you, even in the land of Zarahemla,

and smite you with the sword,

insomuch that ye can have no more power

to impede the progress of this people in the cause of our freedom.

Alma 60:36

Behold, I am Moroni, your chief captain.

I seek not for power, but to pull it down.

I seek not for honor of the world,

but for the glory of my God, and the freedom and welfare of my country.

And thus I close mine epistle.
