upon the waters and more especially hereafter for I the Lord have decreed in mine anger many destructions upon the waters, yea and especially upon these waters, nevertheless all flesh is in mine hand & he that is faithful among you shall not perish by the waters— Wherefore it is expedient that my Servant & my Servant be in haste upon their errand and mission, nevertheless I would not suffer that ye should part until ye are chastened for all your sins that ye might be one, that ye might not perish in wickedness, but now verily I say it behooveth me that ye should part, wherefore let them my servants & take their former company & let them take their journey in haste, that they may fill their mission and thro.
