I will therefore open tothee the meaning and actions ofevery mountain. 4 But
now thou art enlightenedby the angel, and yet by the sameSpirit. But some of
them havewholly fallen away; to these thereis no more place for repentance.
The
third was full ofthorns and thistles.
Then he said untothem; let every one
pluck up hisrod, and bring it unto me.
115 I answered, Sir, how couldI do
otherwise?
81 I said unto him, sir, I hopethat all when they shall hear
thesethings, will repent.
107 He answered, Wilt thounow learn what thou didst
desire?
The peoplethat stand under its shadow, arethose which have heard his
preaching,and believed.
108 He answered, I will do allas thou wouldst have me,
norwill I hide any thing from thee. 47 I answered, Sir, why thendid not all of
them repent? 109 First of all, Sir, said I,tell me, what this rock and thisgate
denote? And the shepherd rejoicedat these, because they were allchanged, and
free from theirclefts.
And all these were sentaway, every one to his
properrank.
7 The fifth mountain was veryrugged; but yet had green herbs.

Seest thou not, said he, thathe doth support them, who withall their heart,
bear his name? 56 Hear now concerningthose who gave in their rods halfdry and
full of clefts. 94 I said, Sir, deliver me thenunto them. 81 I said unto him,
sir, I hopethat all when they shall hear thesethings, will repent. 91 When he
had said this hewould have departed.
98 They answered me, As thouart delivered
unto us, thou mayestnot depart from us.
4 But now thou art enlightenedby the
angel, and yet by the sameSpirit. 56 Hear now concerningthose who gave in their
rods halfdry and full of clefts. This, said he, isthe signification of those
stoneswhich were rejected. And he asked them whether theLord of that tower was
comethither? 108 He answered, I will do allas thou wouldst have me, norwill I
hide any thing from thee. Wherefore the Sonof God is preached to them, bythose
whom he sent unto them.
170 How, air, said I, werethey worse who knew the Lord?
Many of those gave in their rodsgreen; many half dry; the restdry but not
rotten. Allthese received the name of theSon of God, and with that thepower of
these virgins.
The peoplethat stand under its shadow, arethose which have heard
his preaching,and believed. Andall these were set every one in hisown rank. 96
Then those virgins saidunto me, that shepherd will notreturn hither
to-day.
Thesetherefore shall hardly enter thekingdom of God.
And the shepherd
rejoicedat these, because they were allchanged, and free from theirclefts. 139
Seest thou not, said he, thathe doth support them, who withall their heart,
bear his name? 33 And I girded myself witha clean towel, which was made
ofcoarse cloth.
Now that gate wasbright beyond the sun itself;insomuch, that I
greatly wonderedat its light.
I replied, Sir, howcan that be; seeing the rock
isold, but the gate new? I said unto him, Sir, I have receiveda great deal of
satisfaction in thatI have remained with them.
