The Law is for All
39. All this and a book to say how thou didst come hither and a 
reproduction of this ink and paper for ever—for in it is the 
word secret & not only in the English—and thy comment 
upon this the Book of the Law shall be printed beautifully in 
red ink and black upon beautiful paper made by hand; and 
to each man and woman that thou meetest, were it but to 
dine or to drink at them, it is the Law to give. Then they 
shall chance to abide in this bliss or no; it is no odds. Do this 
quickly!
40. But the work of the comment? That is easy; and Hadit burn­
ing in thy heart shall make swift and secure thy pen.
41. Establish at thy Kaaba a clerk-house: all must be done well 
and with business way.
42. The ordeals thou shalt oversee thyself, save only the blind 
ones. Refuse none, but thou shalt know & destroy the trai­
tors. I am Ra-Hoor-Khuit; and I am powerful to protect my 
servant. Success is thy proof: argue not; convert not; talk not 
overmuch! Them that seek to entrap thee, to overthrow thee, 
them attack without pity or quarter; de destroy them utterly. 
Swift as a trodden serpent turn and strike! Be thou yet dead­
lier than he! Drag down their souls to awful torment: laugh 
at their fear: spit upon them!
43. Let the Scarlet Woman beware! If pity and compassion and 
tenderness visit her heart; if she leave my work to toy with 
old sweetnesses; then shall my vengeance be known. I will 
slay me her child: I will alienate her heart: I will cast her out 
from men: as a shrinking and despised harlot shall she crawl 
through dusk wet streets, and die cold and an-hungered.
44. But let her raise herself in pride! Let her follow me in my 
way! Let her work the work of wickedness! Let her kill her 
heart! Let her be loud and adulterous! Let her be covered 
with jewels, and rich garments, and let her be shameless 
before all men!
45. Then will I lift her to pinnacles of power: then will I breed 
from her a child mightier than all the kings of the earth. I 
will fill her with joy: with my force shall she see & strike at 
the worship of Nu: she shall achieve Hadit.
