Abstract:
Chain letter. "Being a true Coppy of a letter written by our Blessed Lord and Savour Jesus Christ & found 18 Miles from Iconium Sixty five Years after our Savours Crucifiction." The original letter purported to be discovered by a young child who overturned a "great Stone both round & Large" found near Mesopotamia. Explains commands and punishmnets for failing to abide sacraments and believing in Jesus' writings. "...he that Hath a Coppy of this letter with my own hand written & Spoken with my own mouth & keep It without Publishing It to others Shall not Prosper but he that Publisheth It to others Shall be blessed of me." Keeping a copy of the letter in one's house will offer protection.
