had gone.

15. "Thereafter there cometh a receiver of the little Sabaōth, the Good, him of the Midst.
He himself bringeth a cup filled with thoughts and wisdom, and soberness is in it; [and]
he handeth it to the soul. And they cast it into a body which can neither sleep nor forget
because of the cup of soberness which hath been handed unto it; but it will whip its
heart persistently to question about the mysteries of the Light until it find them,
through the decision of the Virgin of Light, and inherit the Light for ever."

CHAPTER 148
1. Mary said: "A man who hath committed all sins and all iniquities and hath not found the
mysteries of the Light, will he receive the chastisements for them all at once?"

behind her, so that she seeth them not, then all the souls which she shall cast in that

7. When then Jesus said this unto his disciples in the midst of the Amente, the disciples

forgetfulness of the rulers lie until they come out of the body and are led to these
chastisements! Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, son of the Holy [One], and
