I te mea ano kahore te Karaiti i puta inai, erangi ka tino tata tonu, ka kii Hoani Kai Iriiri. Tenei ka pa te titaha ara te toki kite pakiaka o nga rakau katoa katoa e kore e hna i te hna pai, ka tuakina ka tahuna ki te ahi; ko tenei toki hei tope ngahere tumatukuru, ongaonga, punitanita nga rakau katoa pera te kino “ ko te knpu a te Atua” te mata o tenei toki ara te koinga. “ Ana te tahi atua ke atu mou ki mua atu i a au,” tona kanapatanga kei hanga koe i te whakapako’ko mou i tetahi ritenga ranei o nga mea o te rangi i runga, o te whenua ranei i raro, o te wai ranei i raro ite whenua. Kei koropiko koe ki ena mea kei mahi ranei ki era mea etc. Te tapunga ote toki nei. Kei whakahuatia noa e koe te ingoa o Ihowa, e kore hoki a Ihowa e mea he hara kore te tangata e whakahua noa ana i tona ingoa. Hoi he tangata matauranga a Wi Pere bore i kite i tenei toki, he kai whakaora tinana a Wereta tapa iho te ingoa o Ihowa te Atua o nga mano eia kite whangainga ote turoro ki te Rama-Waipiro.
