releaseth the counterfeiting spirit to the rulers of the Fate to the region in which it was

bound to it.
4. "And in that moment it becometh a great light-stream, shining exceedingly, and the
retributive receivers who have led it forth out of the body, are afraid of the light of that
soul and fall on their faces. And in that moment that soul becometh a great light-stream,
it becometh entirely wings of light, and penetrateth all the regions of the rulers and all
the orders of the Light, until it reacheth the region of its kingdom up to which it hath

received mysteries.

5. "If on the other hand it is a soul which hath received mysteries in the first space which is
without, and if after it hath received the mysteries it hath accomplished them, it [then]

turneth and committeth sin after the accomplishing of the mysteries, and if the time of
the coming-forth of that soul is completed, then the retributive receivers come to lead

wings of light for that soul and become vestures of light for it and they do not lead it

10. "And in that moment the soul uttereth the mystery of their apology. And they are
exceedingly afraid and fall on their faces, being in fear of the mystery which it hath
