Martin Harris: "As sure as you see my hand so sure did I see the angel and the plates"
Martin Harris said in the presence of 12-year-old William Glenn:
Gentlemen, do you see that hand? Are you sure you see it? Are your eyes playing a trick or something? No. Well, as sure as you see my hand so sure did I see the angel and the plates.[1]
Martin Harris: "I saw the plates and the inscriptions thereon. I saw the angel, and he showed them unto me"
Martin Harris told Robert Aveson,
It is not a mere belief, but is a matter of knowledge. I saw the plates and the inscriptions thereon. I saw the angel, and he showed them unto me.[2]
