junto; my senses admit not the belicf, 
that! Baai hath at any time held talk w ith 
one of the children of this earth. 
(Afore priests were, have we not beard 
of tlie words spoken by the fathers to 
their children, as'they listened. to: their 
voice, beneath the covering of the tents, 
each of his:dwelling, ere the congrega- 
tions’ were gathered together, round the 
habitations of the priests. 
"Phen did each father declare unto 
those descended from his loins, 
. Give praise’and thanks to Baal, the 
author of light and life. 
Shed not the blood of thy fellow, with- 
out just cause. 
"Pake not aught belonging unto ano- 
ther secretly. 
Keep falsehood from thy lips—false- 
hood perverts justice. 
Keep envy from iby heart—envy cor- 
rodes the spirit. 
Keep flattery from thy. tonguc—flat- 
tery blinds the judgment. 
Pay respect to thy father, conform 
thyself unto his will, be thoua sure prop 
to his old age. 
Love, honor, and cherish thy mother, 
Jet thy hand wait on her eye—tby foot 
mioye in obedience to her voice ; for the 
first pain that you causest to her, she was 
quit for the joy at thy coming forth, be- 
ware of bringing grief to thy mother’s 
heart, thethought will sting thy spirit in 
the time to come, j 
-  Contend not with thy brother—unity 
becometh brethren. 
Be loving and protecting unto thy 
sister. 
Cherish the widow, nourish the or- 
phan, deprived of his father, bis staff, ne- 
Wer more to hear‘a tender mother’s voice. 
Relieve tie poor, the needy, and dis- 
fressed ; be kind, and minister unto the 
Stranger far from the. dwelling of. his 
kindred. 
Be merciful to every living creature. 
‘Be watchful to keep thy passions in 
obedience to thy reason, in the first place ; 
thereby wilt thowavoid doing unto ano- 
ther, what thou wouldst not have ano- 
ther do unto: thee. 
' Preserve the glory of thy race, die, or 
five free. - 
What have these things to do with 
feeding fires, and Joking after portions 
of the land, 
And when Eolns bad ruled nine rings, 
he placed Dalta his brother iu his seat, 
and he did go to Sgadan, and he did 
abide there for one ring, and he did. make 
a covenant with Ramah, chief of the 
Jand of Aoimag. 
Montacy Mac. No. 370, 
649 
And Ramah did send Olam to abide 
amongst the Gaal in Gael-ag, and the 
teachers of Aoimag did give knowledge 
unto. the nobles, instructing them to hold 
talk one with another, from the land of 
Aoimag even unto Gael-ag. 
Moreover men of Aoi-mag taught the 
Gael to form ships, wherein to move on 
the face of the deep. 
And the Gael, do help the children of 
Feine; in the bowels of the carth, in the 
land of Hisfeine, for the children of Ib-er 
were cunning workmen in tbe land of 
their fathers, in searching for brass. 
And Eolus did sead nine of the sons 
of Ib-er, even the most wise of the chil- 
dren of the land, to make addition to the 
knowledge they had atoretime, 
And the meu did return at the set time 
of three rings, and Eolus called together 
the chiefs of the Gael, to the great con- 
gregation, and he spake unto them say- 
ing, 
“Man differeth nothing from the beast 
of the field, save in reason, but whereto 
serveth reason, if it receiveth not aright 
direction ? 
“ Hath man passions in common with 
all other animals, which oft consume 
him, reason instructed will controul 
them. 
“ Teachers are now amongst us—w bat 
if a portion of the land were assigned to 
each of the Olam in divers quarters, that 
they may live free from eare, save that 
of instructing the youth in the ways of 
knowledge.—Gael-ag bath hitherto con- 
tained too few of the wise men of the 
earth.” 
And it was so.— 
And the Olam had their portions, and 
they did chuse from amongst them one; 
Tarlat the son of Leir, to be Ard-olam, 
And 'Tarlat sware in the presence.of 
Abe congregation to guard) the writing, 
which Eolus did place within his hands, 
to set down words of the Gaal, to keep 
falsehood therefrom, and to preserve them 
during his days. 
Now..whem Eolus. had.ruled fur the 
course of eighteen rings, it came to pass 
that Ramah, chief of the children of he 
land of Aoismag died, and Amram his 
brother’s son took his.place, 
SESOSTRIS, 
Now it came to.pass what time Kocaid 
had ruled.seventeen rings, and cre one 
Ratha was complete, amighty host from 
the sun’s rising, rushed like a devouring 
fluod, sweeping all nations; people were 
as streams, and brooks and rivers, that 
swell the sea to overwhelm the earth. 
And the chief of all the nations was
