This shall he accomplish secretly and apart, without asking the advice or approval
of his Adeptus Minor.
Let the Dominus Liminis keep it when consecrated in the secret chamber of Art.
This then is that which is written: "Bring furnished with complete armour
and armed, he is similar to the goddess."
And again, "I am armed, I am armed."
