continuation of note from preceding page, laid over page 5 It was an angel sent from God. He told them they had sinned, & therefore could not conquer their enemies. -- that though they had fasted long enough, and provision hsd been making for their relief -- and the rushing noise they heard above, was help coming down, and the people they said had been ordered to help them, yet now on account of the sin of that man they would not have relief, but might go back, or down the mountain. This angel went half down with them and then forsook them. On coming down, they condemned the man to die, but notwithstanding, they never have been assisted since, as they had been before, in conquering their enemies. citation: T. Smith.
