(452) 841 To say: O N., stand up, that thou mayest be pure, that thy ka may be pure. 841 Horus purifies thee in b.w. 842 Thy purification is the purification of Shu, thy purification is the purification of Tefnut, 842 thy purification is the purification of the four spirits of the houses, 842 C. when they rejoice in Buto because thou art pure. 842 Thy mother Nut purifies thee, the great protectress, she protects thee. 843 "Take to thee thy head; thy bones are united for thee," says Geb. 843 "Effaced be the evil which is with N., destroyed shall be the evil which is with him," says Atum. 22. A MISCELLANEOUS GROUP,

(451) 837 To say: O N., awake, raise thyself up, 837 stand up, that thou mayest be pure, that thy ka may be pure, 837 that thy soul may be pure, that thy might may be pure. 838 Thy mother comes to thee, Nut comes to thee, the great protectress comes to thee; 838 she purifies thee, N., she protects thee, N., 838 she prevents thy need. 839 O N., thou art pure, thy ka is pure, 839 thy might which is among the spirits is pure, thy soul which is among the gods is pure. 840 O N., 840 "Thy bones are united for thee; take to thee thy head," says Geb. 840 Let him efface the evil which is in thee, N., says Atum.

(17) And purity is "to think holy thoughts." "Except ye become as these little children, ye shall not enter," it is said, "into the kingdom of heaven."

(26) Each one is pure, who s conscious of no sin."

(36) 28 Thou purifiest (thyself); Horus purifies (himself). Thou purifiest (thyself); Set purifies (himself). Thou purifiest (thyself); Thot purifies (himself). 28 Thou purifiest (thyself); the god purifies (himself). Thou purifiest (thyself); thy ka purifies (himself). Thou purifiest (thyself); thy god purifies (himself). 28 Thou also purifiest (thyself); it is thou who art among thy brothers, the gods. 29 Thy natron is on thy mouth; thou purifiest thy bones, (and) all. Equip thyself with that which belongs to thee. 29 Osiris, I have given to thee the eye of Horus to equip thy face therewith; adhere (to it). 29 One pellet of natron.

(36) Wherefore also he who holds converse with God must have his soul immaculate and stainlessly pure, it being essential to have made himself perfectly good.

(407) 710 To say: N. is pure, so that he can receive for himself his pure place which is in heaven. 710 N. will remain, the beautiful places, of N. will remain. 710 N. receives for himself his pure place which is in the bow of the boat of R`. 711 And the sailors who row R`, 711 they also will row N.; 711 and the sailors will take R` round about the horizon., 711 they also will take N. round about the horizon. 712 N.'s mouth is opened for him, N.'s nose is opened for him, 712 N.'s ears are opened for him, 712 that N. may judge words, that he may separate the two contenders, 713 that he may command words to him who is greater than he. 713 R` purifies N.; R` protects N. against the evil which is done against him.

(19) And here we give the Reader (that loves God) to understand clearly in the great Deep, what the pure Element is, wherein our Body (before the Fall of Adam) stood, and in the new Regeneration now at present stands also therein. It is the heavenly Corporeity, which is not barely and merely a Spirit, wherein the clear Deity dwells; it is not the pure Deity itself, but [it is] generated out of the Essences of the holy Father (as he continually and eternally goes in through the eternal Gate, in the eternal Mind in himself through the recomprehended Will) into the eternal Habitation, where he generates his eternal Word.

(420) 750 To say: O N., be pure, cense thyself for R`. 750 How beautiful is thy purity to-day! 750 To-day, establish thyself among the gods, to-day. 750 To-day, establish thyself among those who are in the s-ntr, today.

(8) We shall venerate Divinity in a proper manner, if we render the intellect that is in us pure from all vice, as from a certain stain.

(35) 27 Thou purifiest (thyself); Horus purifies (himself). One pellet of natron. Thou purifiest (thyself); Set purifies (himself). One pellet of natron. 27 Thou purifiest (thyself); Thot purifies (himself). One pellet of natron. Thou purifiest (thyself); the god purifies (himself). One pellet of natron. 27 Thou also purifiest (thyself)--thou who art among them. One pellet of natron. 27 Thy mouth is the mouth of a sucking calf on the day of his birth. 27 Five pellets of natron of the North, Wadi Natr�n (st-p.t)

(7) Men must not think, that Man before his Fall had bestial Members to propagate with, but heavenly [Members,] nor any as Man has in his Body, does not belong to the Holy Trinity in Paradise, but to the Earth; it must go again into its Ether. But Man was created immortal, and also holy, like the Angels; and seeing he was created out of the Limbus, therefore he was pure. Now in what manner he is, and out of what he was made, it follows further.

(5) We have known Thee, O Thou completely filled with the Conception from Thyself of Universal Nature! We have known Thee, O Thou Eternal Constancy! For in the whole of this our prayer in worship of Thy Good, this favour only of Thy Goodness do we crave;—that Thou wilt keep us constant in our Love of knowing Thee, and let us ne’er be cut off from this kind of Life. With this desire we [now] betake us to [our] pure and fleshless meal.

(3) All angels and all souls, although they be confirmed and adorned with grace and with virtues, for the which they be above thee in cleanness, nevertheless, yet they be but even with thee in nature.

(41) To the pure of heart come also a quiet spirit, one-pointed thought, the victory over sensuality, and fitness to behold the Soul.

(8) Seperate thou ye earth from ye fire, ye subtile from the gross sweetly wth great indoustry.

(178) The Oracles of the Gods declare, that through purifying ceremonies, not the Soul only, but bodies themselves become Worth) of receiving much assistance and health, for, say they, the mortal vestment of coarse Matter will by these means be purified." And this, the Gods, in an exhortatory manner, announce to the moat holy of Theurgists.

(10) And since there are two paths of reaching the perfection of salvation, works and knowledge, He called the "pure in heart blessed, for they shall see God." And if we really look to the truth of the matter, knowledge is the purification of the leading faculty of the soul, and is a good activity. Some things accordingly are good in themselves, and others by participation in what is good, as we say good actions are good. But without things intermediate which hold the place of material, neither good nor bad actions are constituted, such I mean as life, and health, and other necessary things or circumstantials. Pure then as respects corporeal lusts, and pure in respect of holy thoughts, he means those are, who attain to the knowledge of God, when the chief faculty of the soul has nothing spurious to stand in the way of its power. When, therefore, he who partakes gnostically of this holy quality devotes himself to contemplation, communing in purity with the divine, he enters more nearly into the state of impassible identity, so as no longer to have science and possess knowledge, but to be science and knowledge.

(2) Nor, even though we should admit that this essence is especially in want of such things, will it require the aid of men to a sacred worship of this kind; since it is itself filled from itself, and from the nature of the world, and the perfection which is in generation; and, if it be lawful so to speak, prior to being in want it receives the self-sufficient, through the never failing wholeness of the world and its own proper plenitude, and because all the more excellent genera are full of appropriate good. Let this, therefore, be a lenitive for us in common, concerning the worship of the undefiled genera, as being appropriately coadapted to the beings that are more excellent than we, and because pure things are introduced to pure, and impassive things to impassive, natures.

(16) Next, they throw garments, white as light, over the man initiated. For by his manly and Godlike insensibility to contrary passions, and by his persistent inclination towards the One, the unadorned is adorned, and the shapeless takes shape, being made brilliant by his luminous life. But the perfecting unction of the Muron makes the man initiated of good odour, for the holy perfecting of the Divine birth unites those who have been perfected to the supremely Divine Spirit. Now the overshadowing which makes intelligibly of a good savour, and perfect, as being most unutterable, I leave to the mental consciousness of those who are deemed worthy of the sacred and deifying participation of the Holy Spirit within their mind. At the conclusion of all, the Hierarch calls the man initiated to the most Holy Eucharist, and imparts to him the communion of the perfecting mysteries.
