So when he told him what was a going to the King believed it
and thought it best to Prepare against the time of Famine, that Joseph
said was coming, & he thought there was no one so suitable as Joseph
because the Great Spirit was with him, so he put all Power in to his hand
only the King was greater, so Joseph ordered store houses to be built & laid
up Corn for the time of famine that was coming & he had the Keys of the
stores, now the famine come, his brethren come to want, they had sold
Joseph, & Did not intend to bow to him, but they heard there was corn in
Egypt, their father sent some of them Down to buy some, they applyed to Joseph
he knew them, they Did not know him, he asked if they had any brethren & whe
ther they had a Father living, they told him about them, so after a while Joseph
sent for them, they all went Down & bowed to Joseph, for there was no other way for
them to kept alive Now it looked Plain to me, that we have a measure of
the good spirit afforded to lead us to Instruct us & it is greater then we are & de
signed to Rule over us, or we may Do as that tells us, or we may mind the bad spirit
But if we Do, it will not yeald the Peaceable fruits of rightiousness, & we may say
to the good spirit, we will not have this man to rule over us, we may Put it away
and sell it, & it may be Put into Prison, yet a famine will overtake there, & though
they may go into a far Country, far away from that, that is Right, & and not Even
know Joseph or this good spirit, yet that will know them, & it will there rise
up & Plead with them, now there is no other way, but to go back again to that; that
is wright, & acknowledge Joseph to be greatest he has all Power Commited to him
he has the Keys of , & they that will not him, must Die.

The same Disposition, that was in Josephs Brethren, and in People in the
Days of the Apostles, is now in People, I have seen some folks, so simple, that they
got mad with a gun & Broke it all to Pieces, because it had Done some Mischief,
as tho the Gun was to blame, if it had not been Charged, & then fire Put to it,
it would not; Done any harm, so when the apostles were Charged with some
thing & the Fire of Divine love operated on them, her they could Do Execution
but after it had Passed through them, they were like the Emty Gun, it was
not they that Did it; it was that flame of Divine love & here the People
took the apostles, & Put them to Death, as tho they Done it, & thought to
stop it from spreading, but they could not, for it operated through otherng
And it operates the purpose
