behold, I write this epistle unto you,
and do give unto you exceedingly great praise
because of your firmness, and also the firmness of your people,

in the defence of your liberty, and your property, and your country,
or that which ye do call so.

Go down upon the Nephites and destroy them.

if we do this he will deliver them into our hands.
