you: The receivers of Melchisedec will with haste snatch it away, whether the dragon let

it go or it is in the judgments of the rulers; in a word, the receivers of Melchisedec will

in the Treasury of the Light."

4. "But if they are sinners and are come out of the body and have not repented,
and if ye perform for them the mystery of the Ineffable, in order that they may
