                   11. "This is the allotment of the second king for those who receive the mystery of the
                       second space of the First Mystery.


                   12. "Those on the other hand who receive the mysteries of the third space, that is of the
                       first space from without, those again will abide behind the second king, expanded in the
                       light of my kingdom, according to the glory of every one of them, every one abiding in
                       the region up to which he hath received mysteries, so that those who receive the higher
                       mysteries, will abide in the higher regions, and those who receive the lower mysteries,

                       will abide in the lower regions.
                   13. "These are the three allotments of the Light-kingdom.

                   14. "The mysteries of these three allotments of the Light are exceedingly numerous. Ye shall

                       find them in the two great Books of Yew. But I will give you and tell you the great
                       mysteries of every allotment, those which are higher than every region, that is the
                       heads according to every region and according to every order which will lead the whole
                       race of men into the higher regions, according to the space of the Inheritance.
                   15. "Of the rest of the lower mysteries, therefore, ye have no need; but ye will find them in
                       the two Books of Yew, which Enoch hath written whilst I spake with him out of the tree

                       of gnosis and out of the tree of life in the paradise of Adam.

                   16. "Now, therefore, when I shall have explained unto you the whole expansion, I will give
                       you and tell you the great mysteries of the three allotments of my kingdom, that is the

                       heads of the mysteries which I will give you and tell you in all their figures and all their
                       types and in their ciphers and the seals of the last space, that is the first space from
                       without. And I will tell you the answers and the apologies and the tokens of that space.
                   17. "The second space which is within, possesseth no answers nor apologies nor tokens nor
                       ciphers nor seals; but it possesseth only types and figures."





               CHAPTER 100
                   1.  When the Saviour had finished saying all this unto his disciples, Andrew came forward
                       and said: "My Lord, be not wroth with me, but have mercy upon me and reveal unto me
                       the mystery of the word concerning which I shall question thee, for it hath been hard for
                       me and I have not understood it."
                   2.  The Saviour answered and said unto him: "Question concerning that on which thou
                       desirest to question, and I will reveal it unto thee face to face without similitude."

                   3.  And Andrew answered and said: "My Lord, I am astonished and marvel exceedingly,
                       how the men who are in the world and in the body of this matter, if they come forth out
                       of this world, will pass through these firmaments and all these rulers and all lords and all
