Wednesday morning. We prayed to God, the creator of heaven and earth, &c.; then as concerning the covenant which was made, subscribed and delivered in, but the next day required again of Mr E.K. and in his wife's name to put out his name, &c. But when he had it, he cut it into two equal parts: keeping that half wherein his subscription and his wife's were, and delivered unto me the other half; but after a few days desired to have the sight and reading of both together: and then he kept the other part from me also. But afterward Madimi did with her finger draw on the two papers, make them whole again, &c., and then she gave the print of my characters, and said a red circle should always appear in the Stone to all men's sight, &c. E.K.: 'There is here a great globe of fire hanging in the top of the Stone; and in the globe a man standing with a purple robe like Christ. I cannot well perceive his face.' VOICE: 'Behold, I have prepared a banquet for you, and have brought you even unto the doors; but because you smell not the feast you disdain to enter. Happy is he that entreth in through me: for I am the very gate to all felicity and joy, and without me is nothing. 'Thou, even thou that hast torn in pieces even this morning again this covenant which thou hast made with me, behold, the time shall come that thou shalt be torn in pieces thyself: and even as thou hast obstinately and ignorantly blasphemed the company of my holy messagers, even so shall the people of the earth obstinately and ignorantly throw thee out from town to town. 'After a while I come again.' I read this over to E.K. E.K.: 'He is here again.' VOICE: 'He that pawneth his soul for me loseth it not, and he that dieth for me, dieth to eternal life. For I will lead you into the way of knowledge and understanding: and judgement and wisdom shall be upon you, and shall be restored unto you: and you shall grow every day wise and mighty., In me. t. 222 t.
