6 And again, verily I say unto thy brethren, Sidney Rigdon and ^aFrederick G. Williams, their sins are forgiven them also, and they are accounted as ^bequal with thee in holding the keys of this last kingdom;

  9 And it is expedient in me that you, my servant Sidney, should be a ^aspokesman unto this people; yea, verily, I will ordain you unto this calling, even to be a spokesman unto my servant Joseph.
