Our loves have brought to birth the Father and Creator of all things.
5
He hath established the elements; the aether, the air, the water, the earth, and the fire.
6
He hath established the wandering stars in their courses.
7
He hath ploughed with the seven stars of his Plough, that the Seven might move indeed, yet ever point to the unchanging One.
8
He hath established the Eight Belts, wherewith he hath girdled the globes.
9
He hath established the Trinity of Triads in all things, forcing fire into fire, and ordering all things in the Stable Abode of the Kings of Ægypt.
10
He hath established His rule in His kingdom.

12
In his subtlety He expandeth it all into twelve rays of the Crown.
13
And these twelve rays are One.
