Because He the Most Holy Ancient One is in an unvarying condition of joy, neither changeth He from mercy forever. But in the thirteen measurements(801) of mercies is He found, because that Wisdom hidden in Him is divided into three(802) paths in a quaternary, and He Himself the Ancient One comprehendeth them, and through them doth He reign over all things. One (path) which shineth in the midst of the hairs going forth from the Skull, is that path by whose light the just are led into the world to come. Like as it is written, Prov. iv. 18, “And the path of the just shineth as the Light.” And concerning this it is written, Isa. lviii. 14, “Then shalt thou delight thyself in Tetragrammaton.” And from that path(803) are all the other paths illuminated which depend from Microprosopus. He the Eternal Ancient of the Ancient Ones is the highest Crown among the Supernals, wherewith all Diadems and Crowns are crowned. And from Him are all the Lights illuminated, and they flash forth flames, and shine. But He verily is the Supreme Light, which is hidden, which is not known. And all the other Lights are kindled by Him, and derive (their) splendor (from him). He the Most Holy Ancient One is found to have three heads, which are contained in the One Head.(804) And He Himself is that only highest supreme Head. And since He the Most Holy Ancient One is thus symbolized in the Triad, hence all the other Lights which shine are included in Triads.(805) Moreover, the Most Holy Ancient One is also symbolized by the Duad. And the division of the Ancient One in the Duad is so that the (one form is) the Highest Crown of all the Supernals, the Head of all Heads. And (the other is) that superior Head, and It is not known. So also all the remaining Lights are mystically divided into Duads. Furthermore, the Most Holy Ancient One is symbolized and concealed under the conception of the Unity, for He himself is One, and all things are One. And thus all the other Lights are sanctified, are restricted, and are bound together in the Unity or Monad, and are One; and all things are HVA, _Hoa_, Himself. Chapter III: Concerning the Forehead of the Most Holy Ancient One The Forehead, which is uncovered in the Most Holy Ancient One, is called Grace. For that Supernal Head concealed in the Higher, which no man hath known, expandeth a certain external manifestation, beautiful and gracious, which is comprehended in the Forehead. And since He Himself is the grace of all graciousness; hence He assumeth the conformation of the Forehead, which is disclosed in the most intense light (otherwise, hath a formation in the figure of a leaf). And when It is disclosed, the grace of all graciousness is found in all worlds. And all the prayers of the Inferiors are accepted; and the countenance of Microprosopus is illuminated, and all things are found to exist in mercy.
