For in the whole work the differences in the wording of the various Codices are not sufficient to require the constant giving of parallel readings; but except in the more ancient examples there is much deterioration in the Seals and Sigils, so that in this latter respect the more recent exemplars are not entirely reliable.)

Thus the Word affirms the Great Work accomplished : 5° = 6D- ShT is moreover a necessary resolution of the apparent opposi¬ tion of LA and AL, for one could hardly pass to the other without the catalytic action of a third identical expression whose function should be to transmute them. Such a term must be in itself a mode of Naught, and its nature cannot encroach on the perfections of Not-Being, LA, or of Being, AL. It must be purely Nothing…

He therefore said: “Let me déclaré this Work under this title: 'The obtaining of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian AngeP ”, because the theory implied in these words is so patently absurd that only simpletons would waste much time in analysing it.
