4] Behold, o thou aspiring one, for upon thy head thou wearest a brilliant white crown, purer than the purest pure and whiter than any white. And behold, for it is brighter and more magnificent than the glory of a hundred million suns. Behold! Behold!
5] And lookest thou into the eye of God. Are not the things which thou seest there beautiful? Art thou not lulled to sleep by skies coloured with the violet haze of summer storms?
6] And about thy neck, hangest thou a great onyx stone, and with this thou mayest begin to understand many hidden things.
7] And driveth into thy left hand a spike cut from ruby. Do this in strength.
