Inscription: inscription : printed : lower margin centre & recto : : Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered them- / selves together unto him. And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out / from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour. / Exodus. XXXII. 26, 27. //
