Scope and Contents

"While in Kirtland there was some conversation among some of the elders as though I had ought to be ordained but I informed them notwithstanding I felt as though it was my indispensable [?] duty to preach the gospel that I was unwilling to be ordained unless it was by the consent of all the elders or it should be made known by revelation for I had heard that Newel Knight had said that it was not expedient that I should be ordained but it did appear by revelation that God required that I should be ordained."
