And is wont the portion of that power, it is wont to remain within the soul, that should be able to stand (upright) the soul, and they are wont to put the counterfeit spirit outside of the soul, being vigilant unto her and imparted unto her. And are wont the Rulers to bind it in unto the soul with their seals with their bonds, and they are wont to seal it in unto her, that it should compel her at every time, that it should make their passions with their unlawfulnesses with all their sins which are continued, that she should be slave to them at every time, and remain under their subjection at every time in the changes of the body: and they are wont to seal it in unto her, for her to become in every sin with every lust of the World. Because of this therefore of this [305^b] kind I brought the mysteries unto the World, these which are wont to loosen all the bonds of the counterfeit spirit and with all the seals, these which bind in unto the soul, these (mysteries) which are wont to make the soul free, and they are wont to redeem her from her Ruler parents, and they are wont to make her pure Light, and take her up unto the kingdom of her Father the First of coming, the First Mystery unto age.

It happened therefore, the Saviour having heard these words, saying them Maria, he called her happy greatly greatly. Answered the Saviour, said he to Maria: I command to thee Maria for to say the explanation of the word which said Salome. But these having said them the Saviour, Maria sprang up toward Salome she saluted her, said she, My sister Salome because of the word [306^b] which thou saidst, It is written in the Law of Moyses, He who will forsake his father with his mother in a death let him die. Now therefore my sister Salome, the Law did not say this concerning the soul, nor concerning the body, nor concerning the counterfeit spirit, for these all the sons are of the Rulers, and ones out of them are, but the Law did say this concerning the power which came out of the Saviour, this which is Light-dweller within us to-day. The Law also said, Every one who will remain outside of the Saviour with his mysteries, his
