The Law is for All
4. Choose ye an island!
5. Fortify it!
6. Dung it about with enginery of war!
7. I will give you a war-engine.
8. With it ye shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand 
before you.
9. Lurk! Withdraw! Upon them! this is the Law of the Battle of 
Conquest: thus shall my worship be about my secret house.
10. Get the stele of revealing itself; set it in thy secret temple— 
and that temple is already aright disposed—& it shall be 
your Kiblah for ever. It shall not fade, but miraculous colour 
shall come back to it day after day. Close it in locked glass 
for a proof to the world.
11. This shall be your only proof. I forbid argument. Conquer! 
That is enough. I will make easy to you the abstraction from 
the ill-ordered house in the Victorious City. Thou shalt 
thyself convey it with worship, o prophet, though thou likest 
it not. Thou shalt have danger Sc trouble. Ra-Hoor-Khu is 
with thee. Worship me with fire Sc blood; worship me with 
swords & with spears. Let the woman be girt with a sword 
before me: let blood flow to my name. Trample down the 
Heathen; be upon them, o warrior, I will give you of their 
flesh to eat!
12. Sacrifice cattle, little and big: after a child.
13. But not now.
14. Ye shall see that hour, o blessed Beast, and thou the Scarlet 
Concubine of his desire!
15. Ye shall be sad thereof.
16. Deem not too eagerly to catch the promises; fear not to 
undergo the curses. Ye, even ye, know not this meaning all.
