modern english translation behold, says your god, i am a circle on whose hands stand 12 kingdoms: six are the seats of living breath: the rest are as sharp sickles or the horns of death, wherein the creatures of your earth are to are not, except mine own hand which sleep and shall rise. in the first i made you stewards and placed you in 12 seats of government. giving unto every one of you power successively over 456, the true ages of time: to the intent that from your highest vessels and the corners of your governments you might work my power, pouring down the fires of life and increase continually on the earth: thus you are become the skirts of justice and truth. in the name of the same your god, lift up, i say, your selves. behold his mercies flourish and name is become mighty amongst us. in whom we say: move, descend, and apply yourselves unto us, as unto the partakers of the secret wisdom of your creation.
