And the mother of the All and the forefather and the self: father and the protogenitor and the powers of the acon of the ‘mother sang a great song of praise, blessing the One Alone, saying “Thou alone art the iyfinite one, thou alone art the deep, and thou alone art the unknowable one. And thou art he for whom everyone seeks, and they do not find thee, for none can know thee without thy will, and none can bless thee without thy will, And thy will alone is that which became place for thee, for none can become place for thee because to all thou art their place. 1 pray thee to sive ranks to those of the world, and to give ordinances to my offspring according 10 thy pleasure. And do not cause sorrow to ‘my offspring, because no one has ever been made sorrowful through thee, and no one has known thy counsel. Thou art he whom all those within and those without lack. For thou alone art an incomprehensible one, thou alone art the invisible one, and thou lone art the insubstantial one, and thou atone art he who has given character to all creation. Thou hast manifested them in thyself. Thou art the demiurge of those that have not yet man- ifested — these which thou alone knowest, and we do not know them, Thou alone art he who gives signs of them to us, so that we should ask of thee | concerning them, that thou shouldst manifest (10) do not Gd i. have 04 found 2 (12) withow thy wails He withoot thine ov wil; oF, without thy wil alone. > (1415) place; se Bouché Lecee (BIBL 12) p. 260 2» Library of Ruslan Khazarzar259 ‘THE UNTITLED TEXT erhitoy xe-eneovongor eboA nmcorwHoT efor QITOOTH AAATAAR.
