In addition to the enumeration contained in the so-called interpretation of the mysterious “Five Words,” there appears in the 2nd part of the _Pistis Sophia_ (pp. 206 _sqq._ Copt.) a long rhapsody in which it is declared that a certain mystery knows why all the powers, stars, and heavenly “places” were made. These are here again set out _seriatim_, and as the order in the main corresponds with that in the five words translated in the text, it serves as a check upon this last. The order of the powers in the text was given in the article in the _Scottish Review_ before referred to, and, although this was written 20 years ago, I see no occasion to alter it. Footnote 496: It is the “last Parastates” who places Jeû and his companion in “the place of those who belong to the right hand according to the arrangement (_i.e._ οἰκονομία) of the Assembly of the Light which is in the Height of the Rulers of the Aeons and in the universes (κοσμοὶ) and every race which is therein” (p. 193, Copt.). A later revelation is promised as to these, but in the meantime it is said that Jeû emanated from the chosen or pure (εἰλικρινής) light of the first of the Five Trees (_loc. cit._). Footnote 497: See nn. 1 and 3, p. 141 _supra_. As has been said, it is difficult not to see in this “1st Precept” a personification of the Torah or Jewish Law. Footnote 498: See n. 3, p. 146 _supra_. Footnote 499: See n. 2, p. 136 _supra_. Footnote 500: So Secundus, Valentinus’ follower, taught according to Hippolytus (_v._ Chap. ΙΧ _supra_) “that there is a right and a left tetrad, _i.e._ light and darkness.” This may be taken to mean that the constitution of the light-world was repeated point for point in the world of darkness. The middle world is of course that where light and darkness mingle. Footnote 501:
