Cowdery should be appointed and ordained a presiding high priest over my church, in the land of Freedom and the regions round about; ###### 2 2 And should preach my everlasting gospel, and lift up his voice and warn the people, not only in his own place, but in the adjoining counties; ###### 3 3 And devote his whole time to this high and holy calling, which I now give unto him, seeking diligently the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness, and all things necessary shall be added thereunto; for the laborer is worthy of his hire. ###### 4 4 And again, verily I say unto you, the coming of the Lord draweth nigh, and it overtaketh the world as a thief in the night-- ###### 5 5 Therefore, gird up your loins, that you may be the children of light, and that day shall not overtake you as a thief. ###### 6 6 And again, verily I say unto you, there was joy in heaven when my servant Warren bowed to my scepter, and separated himself from the crafts of men; ###### 7 7 Therefore, blessed is my servant Warren, for I will have mercy on him; and, notwithstanding the vanity of his heart, I will lift him up inasmuch as he will humble himself before me. ###### 8 8 And I will give him grace and assurance wherewith he may stand; and if he continue to be a faithful witness and a light unto the church I have prepared a crown for him in the mansions of my Father. Even so. Amen.
