Chapter whereby one is given a place among the company of the faithful.

Hail to Thee, Creator, Lord of Heaven, who givest motion to all things which come into being; Thou who comest forth from the earth and createst whatsoever is begotten: Lord of the things which are; who givest birth to the angels; great God, self-subsisting; Lord of life, who givest vigour to the men now living:

Hail to you, ye lords of pure things, ye whose abodes are hidden:

Hail to you, ye lords of eternity, ye whose attributes are concealed, and the place where ye reside is unknown.

Hail to you, ye angels who are in the divine circuit and the Kabhu; ye angels who are in Amenta and ye, O divine company which is in Heaven:

Let me come to you, let me be purified and strengthened, let me be enriched and gifted with power, let me have possession and glory.

I bring in offering to you perfume, incense and natron. Stop ye the outpourings of your hearts against me. I am come to put a stop to all the wrong things which are in your hearts, and to do away with the false charges which have been made to you.

But I bring in offering to you well-being. I lift up in offering to you truth.

I know you and I know your names, and I know your attributes, though it be not known what by you may be brought to pass.

I come before you and make my appearance as a man who liveth in obedience to God, and I stand out before you in the form of one who is raised high upon his pedestal, to whom the angels come with acclamation, when they see him.

I come before you and make my appearance on my seat, and I sit upon my seat which is on the Horizon, and receive the offerings upon their altars. I drink the sacred liquor each evening, and I am exalted like that venerable servant the Lord of the Great House, whom the angels rejoice at seeing at his beautiful comings forth.
