6c for, behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things, for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.
6d Verily I say, Men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness; for the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves.
6e And inasmuch as men do good, they shall in nowise lose their reward.
6f But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned.
6g Who am I that made man, saith the Lord, that will hold him guiltless that obeys not my commandments?
6h Who am I, saith the Lord, that have promised and have not fulfilled?
6i I command and a man obeys not, I revoke and they receive not the blessing; then they say in their hearts, This is not the work of the Lord, for his promises are not fulfilled. But woe unto such, for their reward lurketh beneath, and not from above.
7a And now I give unto you further directions concerning this land.
7b It is wisdom in me that my servant Martin Harris should be an example unto the church, in laying his moneys before the bishop of the church.
7c And also, this is a law unto every man that cometh unto this land, to receive an inheritance, and he shall do with his moneys according as the law directs.
7d And it is wisdom, also, that there should be lands purchased in Independence, for the place of the storehouse, and also for the house of the printing.
