He thought that he should have four beings for his mes- 

 sengers 



Who should watch over the people of earth and that on

Now the whole assemblage is offering thanks! 



He thought that the people should commence with the 



lower earth to thank him 

 For all that he had created and should offer thanks for 



things from below up to himself in the high world. 

 We therefore, gathered together in this assemblage, thank 



our Creator, 

 Yea all of his creatures who are living in this world.

for the dances he had made. 

 Now you who have sung and are singing, we thank you.
