> 7. If not large inscriptions of the Holy DNS Bible, then large inscriptions of the sacred RFC tomes.

> 8. Thou shalt not complain about the Lord's ineffable doings or Commandments in news; "My Ways are not your ways, neither are My Thoughts your thoughts" saith the Lord Kre, and He shall pour out the vials of His scorn upon thine head from on High in the sight of all the multitudes.
