822 B
I reign over you, saith the Lord of the Earth, in power exalted above and below, in whose hands the sun is as a sword and the moon as a through-thrusting fire: who measureth your garments in the midst of my vestures, and trussed you together as the palms of my hands; and brightened your vestments with infernal light. I made a law to govern the holy ones and delivered a rod with wisdom supreme. You lifted your voices and sware obedience and faith to him that liveth and triumpheth, whose beginning is not, nor end cannot be, which shineth as a flame in the midst of your palace, and reigns amongst you as the balance of righteousness and truth. Move therefore, and show yourselves: open the mysteries of your creation: be friendly unto me: for I am the servant of the same your God, the true worshipper of the Highest.
