the mysteries which are toward the interior of the mysteries which he finished receiving, and also was negligent that man, having not prayed the prayer which is wont to take away the wickedness of the meats which he eateth with those which he drinketh, and through the wickedness of the meats they bound him in unto the Pole of the Destiny of the Rulers, and by the compulsion of the elements he did sin again after the completion [296^b] of the time up to which the mystery extendeth, because he was negligent, having not prayed in the prayer, this which is wont to take away the wickedness of the souls, and to cleanse them. And that man came out of the body before that he repented again and received mystery again in the mysteries, those which (are) within the mysteries which he finished receiving, these which they are wont to receive again for the repentance, and they forgive the sins; and he having come out of the body we knew in an exactness that they took him away in unto the midst of the dragon of the Darkness which is outer on account of the sins which he did.

And every man who will find the mystery of one of the twelve names of that dragon of the Darkness which is outer, and every man even though they are sinners greatly, and having received the mysteries of
