7. Go unto the eastern lands, bear testimony in every place, unto every people and in their synagogues; reasoning with the people. 8. Let my servant Samuel H. Smith go with you, and forsake him not, and give him thine instructions; and he that is faithful shall be made strong in every place, and I, the Lord, will go with you. 9. Lay your hands upon the sick, and they shall recover. Return not till I the Lord shall send you. Be patient in affliction. Ask and ye shall receive; knock and it shall be opened unto you. 10. Seek not to be cumbered. Forsake all unrighteousness. Commit not adultery, a temptation with which thou hast been troubled. 11. Keep these sayings, for they are true and faithful, and thou shalt magnify thine office, and push many people to Zion with songs of everlasting joy upon their heads. 12. Continue in these things even unto the end, and you shall have a crown of eternal life at the right hand of my Father, who is full of grace and truth. 13. Verily, thus saith the Lord your God, your Redeemer, even Jesus Christ. Amen.

And the rebellious shall be pierced with much sorrow, for their iniquities shall be spoken upon the housetops, and their secret acts shall be revealed. 4. And the voice of warning shall be unto all people, by the mouths of my disciples, whom I have chosen in these last days. 5. And they shall go forth and none shall stay them, for I the Lord have commanded them. 6. Behold, this is mine authority, and the authority of my servants, and my preface unto the book of my commandments, which I have given them to publish unto you, O inhabitants of the earth. 7. Wherefore, fear and tremble, O ye people, for what I the Lord have decreed in them shall be fulfilled. 8. And verily, I say unto you, that they who go forth, bearing these {223} tidings unto the inhabitants of the earth, to them is power given to seal both on earth and in heaven the unbelieving and rebellious; 9. Yea, verily, to seal them up unto the day when the wrath of God shall be poured out upon the wicked without measure;
