and now my sons, behold I have somewhat more to desire of you,

which desire is, that ye may not do these things that ye may boast,

yea, that ye may have that precious gift of eternal life,

which we have reason to suppose hath been given to our fathers.

and now, my sons, remember, remember

that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer,

who is Christ, the Son of God,

that ye must build your foundation;

that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds,

yea, his shafts in the whirlwind,

yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you,

it shall have no power over you

to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo,

because of the rock upon which ye are built,

which is a sure foundation,

a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

and did turn unto their own ways,

and did build up unto themselves idols of their gold and their silver.
