own will. Yet again is he named
Autoloxastos, for he manifested himself with the Glories that were his.
Yet again is he termed Invisible, for he is hidden and none can see him.
Now [the Robe of Power] gave unto the Propator another Power, that
which since the beginning has caused the Light-Spark to appear in this
Space, and who is named with names Holy and All-perfecting. Who is
Protia, that is to say, the First, and is also called Pantia--she who
is found in all--and Pangenia--she who has brought forth all in the

had sent him these riches; and the Crown of Fatherhood was given to him
because he had been made the Father of all those who came after him.
Then he cried out and said, "My children, with whom I travail again
until Christ be formed in you"; and again he cried, "Yea, I would set
beside a holy virgin an only husband, Christ."
But when he had seen the Grace that the Father in secret had given unto
him (that is Himself a Propator), he wished to turn the Universe to the
Father in secret, for it is His will that the Universe should turn to
Him. And when the Mother saw all the grandeurs which had been gi
