Letter to the government

I have somewhat to say unto you by the way of condemnation.
Our people have been suffering greatly, and you have neglected your responsibilities to us.
We desire to know the cause of your thoughtless state.
Can you think to sit upon your thrones in a state of thoughtless stupor, while our enemies are spreading the work of death around you?
You have ignored those who have looked up to you for protection-those who have placed you in a situation that you might have succored them-and have withheld provisions from them as they fought for the welfare of this people.
Ye ought to be beloved; ye ought to have stirred yourselves more diligently for the welfare and freedom of this people; but behold, ye have neglected them.
Could ye suppose that ye could sit on your thrones, and because of the exceeding goodness of God ye could do nothing and he would deliver you?  Behold, if ye have supposed this, ye have supposed in vain.
Do ye suppose that so many of your brethren have perished because of their wickedness?  I say unto you, if ye have supposed this, ye suppose in vain; for I say unto you it is to your condemnation.
"For the Lord suffereth the righteous to be slain that his justice and judgement may come upon the wicked; therefore ye need not suppose that the righteous are lost because they are slain; but behold, they do enter into the rest of the Lord their God."
I fear exceedingly that the judgements of God will come upon this people, because of their exceeding slothfulness, yea, even the slothfulness of our government, and their exceedingly great neglect towards their brethren.
For were it not for the wickedness which first commenced at our head, we could have withstood our enemies that they could have gained no power over us.
Yea, had it not been for the war which broke out among ourselves; yea, at the time we were contending among ourselves, if we had united our strength as we have hitherto done; yea, had it not been for the desire of power and authority; had you been true to the cause of our freedom, and united; yea, if we had gone forth against them in the strength of the Lord, we should have dispersed our enemies, for it would have been done, according the fulfilling of His word.
But why should I say much concerning this matter?  For we know not but what ye yourselves are seeking for authority.  We know not but what ye are traitors to your country.
Or is it that ye have neglected us because ye are in the heart of our country and ye are surrounded by security that ye do not strengthen us?
Have ye forgotten the commandments of the Lord your God?  Have ye forgotten the captivity of our fathers?  Have ye forgotten the many times we have been delivered out of the hands of our enemies?
Or do ye suppose that the Lord will still deliver us, while we sit upon our thrones and do not make use of the means which the Lord has provided for us?
Do ye suppose that God will look upon you as guiltless while ye sit still and behold these things?  Behold I say unto you, Nay.
God has said that the inner vessel shall be cleansed first, and then shall the outer vessel be cleansed also.
The time is now at hand, that ye do bestir yourselves in the defense of your country and your little ones, or the sword of justice doth hang over us all.
Ye know that ye do transgress the laws of God, and ye do know that ye do trample them under your feet. 
Behold, the Lord will not suffer very long that ye shall live and wax strong in your iniquities to destroy his righteous people. 
I would that ye should adhere to the word of God.
