because of what he (they, MS) proceeded out of the Fatherless (ones).
And that Mystery indeed is that which knoweth because of what despoiled
himself the First Mystery, namely, the twenty-fourth Mystery (reckoning)
outward, and because of what he counterfeits within him the twelve
Mysteries according to the number of the numbering of the Boundless
Uncontainable (ones), and because of what he proceeded out of the
Fatherless (ones). And that Mystery indeed is that which knoweth because
of what despoiled themselves the twelve [204^b] Immoveable (ones), and
because of what indeed they set them up with all their arrays, and
because of what they proceeded out of the Fatherless (ones). And that
Mystery indeed is that which knoweth because of what despoiled
themselves the Unshakeable (ones), and because of what they set them up
divided unto twelve arrays, and because of what they proceeded out of
the Fatherless (ones) these which belong unto (the) arrays of the Space
of the Ineffable. And that Mystery indeed is that which knoweth because
of what they despoiled them the Inconceivable (ones) which belong (to)
the second (two, MS) Space of the Ineffable, and because of what they
proceeded out of the Fatherless (ones). And that Mystery indeed is that
which knoweth because of what despoiled [205^a] themselves the twelve
Undesignated (ones), and because of what they set them up after all
their arrays of the Unrevealed (ones), namely also, some Uncontainable
(ones) of the Boundless (ones), and because of what indeed they
proceeded out of the Fatherless (ones). And that Mystery indeed is that
which knoweth because of what despoiled themselves the Unrevealed (ones)
these which did not reveal themselves, nor brought they them unto that
which manifesteth according to the arrangement of the Only One, the
Ineffable, and because of what they proceeded out of the Fatherless
(ones). And that Mystery indeed is that which knoweth because of what
despoiled themselves the Most profound (ones), and because of what they
distributed them being one only array, and because of what they [205^b]
proceeded out of the Fatherless (ones). And that Mystery indeed is that
which knoweth because of what despoiled themselves the twelve arrays of
the Unspeakable (ones), and because of what indeed they separated them,
being three Parts, and because of what indeed they proceeded out of the
Fatherless (ones).
