they surpass, and he will remain in the arrays of the twelve Saviours. It happened, Jesus having finished saying these words unto his disciples, came forward Maria the Magdalene, she kissed the feet of Jesus, said she, My Lord, bear with me, and be not angry with me, seeking from thee, but have mercy on us, my Lord, and reveal to us every thing which we shall seek after. Now therefore, my Lord, how hath the First Mystery the twelve mysteries; the Ineffable (only) one mystery is that which it hath? Answered Jesus said he to her, One (only) mystery however at least is that which [220^a] it hath, but that mystery doeth three mysteries being the one (only) mystery, but different type (is) of each of them. And also it is wont to do five mysteries, being yet one only, but different (is) the type of each: so that the five mysteries are equal with one another in the mystery of the kingdom in the Inheritances of the Light. But different (is) the type of each of them, and their kingdom excelleth and is being exalted above the whole kingdom of the twelve mysteries one after (upon, MS) another of the First Mystery: but they are not equal in the kingdom with the one (first, MS) mystery of the First Mystery in the kingdom of the Light.

Also the second mystery of the First Mystery, if thou shouldst complete its mystery well in all its figures, the man therefore who will complete [221^a] its mystery, whenever he should say that mystery over the head of every man who cometh out of the body, and he (should) say it unto his two ears. If indeed the man who cometh out of the body of matter having received the mystery another time, and is made partaker in unto the word of the truth. Amen I say unto you, That man whenever he should come out of the body of the matter, his soul will become a great effluence of Light and (will) pass through every Place, even until it go unto the kingdom of that mystery. But if he, that man did not receive mystery and (was) not made partaker unto the words of the truth, he who completeth that mystery, whenever he should say that mystery over the head of the man who cometh out of the body, this who
