I the Lord have spoke it and I will do
it. Declare this all abroad._"
He then continues:
"After I was raised up I was made to remember very fresh what I had
seen and heard, and did declare all things to them that were with
me, and I was filled with abundance of quiet peace and secret joy.
And since that time those words have been like very fruitful seed,
that have brought forth increase in my heart, which I am much
pressed in spirit to declare all abroad."
He further explains the meaning of this revelation in the following
words:
"The poor men by their labors in this time of the first Adam's
government, have made the buyers and sellers of land, or rich men,
to become tyrants and oppressors over them. But in the time of
Israel's restoration, now beginning, when the King of Righteousness
himself shall be Governor in every man, none then shall work for
hire, neither shall any give hire, but everyone shall work in love,
one with and for another, and eat bread together, as being members
of one household, the Creation, in whom Reason rules king in
perfect glory."
Under these circumstances, he contends:
"No man shall have any more land than he can labor himself,[74:1]
or have others to labor with him in love, working together, and
eating bread together, as one of the tribes or families of Israel,
neither giving hire nor taking hire.
