God, the hands of such as have been drowned in the sea of
idle fancies, and deliver them by Thy power and Thy sovereignty. Save

and all that is on earth.

In like manner, the Primal Point saith: "Behold ye Him with His own eyes.
Were ye to behold Him with the eyes of another, ye would never recognize
