20. Let no man think he is ruler, but let God rule him that judgeth, according to the counsel of His own will; or, in other words, him that counseleth or sitteth upon the judgment seat. 21. Let no man break the laws of the land, for he that keepeth the laws of God hath no need to break the laws of the land: 22. Wherefore be subject to the powers that be, until He reigns whose right it is to reign, and subdues all enemies under His feet. 23. Behold, the laws which ye have received from my hand are the laws of the Church, and in this light ye shall hold them forth. Behold, here is wisdom. 24. And now as I spake concerning my servant Edward Partridge, this land is the land of his residence, and those whom he has appointed for his counselors. And also the land of the residence of him whom I have appointed to keep my store-house; 25. Wherefore let them bring their families to this land, as they shall counsel between themselves and me. 26. For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things, for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward. 27. Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness; {193} 28. For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward. 29. But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned. 30. Who am I that made man, saith the Lord, that will hold him guiltless that obeys not my commandments? 31. Who am I, saith the Lord, that have promised and have not fulfilled? 32. I command and men obey not, I revoke and they receive not the blessing; 33. Then they say in their hearts, this is not the work of the Lord, for His promises are not fulfilled. But wo unto such, for their reward lurketh beneath, and not above. 34. And now I give unto you further directions concerning this land. 35. It is wisdom in me that my servant Martin Harris should be an example unto the Church, in laying his monies before the Bishop of the Church. 36. And also, this is a law unto every man that cometh unto this land to receive an inheritance; and he shall do with his monies according as the law directs. 37. And it is wisdom also, that there should be lands purchased in Independence, for the place of the store-house, and also for the house of the printing. 38. And other directions concerning my servant Martin Harris shall be given him of the Spirit, that he may receive his inheritance as seemeth him good. 39. And let him repent of his sins, for he seeketh the praise of the world.
