Joppa, a certain disciple named Tabitha which by interpretation is called Dorcas. . . It came to pass

in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom, when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. And for as much as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come unto them. Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come they brought him into the upper chamber. Peter put them all forth, and kneeled downed, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up,.. .and presented her

alive."

This whole ninth chapter of the Acts of the regeneration is a Ninth chapter, defining the Nine in positive unmistakable terms of revelation. It is a healing chapter, about the awakening of the woman from the dead in and by the Ninth hour. The woman is placed by the law in the house of John. Not Peter alone establishes the awakening: John with Peter defines the Nine. The whole law of the woman rests in our understanding upon the Logos of the words Peter and John. The woman is today to be healed. She is healed by the physical Law. Her enfranchisement from the death into which she has been thrust is not to be of men, but of revelation of natural law. We carry our problem first to the upper chamber where the

bread of life is broken by the law for the disciples who "propose right according to right." The woman will lift up herself, by the hand of Peter, and by no other hand. Thus only is Peter lifted

up.

"Now Peter and John went up together into the temple beautiful at the hour of prayer, being the the ninth hour." Here the Ninth hour is defined as Peter and John. Now Thought has preserved for us here the form of sound words. At this hour of holy see the crucifixion is ended and the law is enthroned by two. Intelligence waits for the world to enter the temple which is called beautiful to accomplish the Nine, not with Peter alone but with Peter and John. "And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping praising God." "And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's." "Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?"

Without the dual keys which Law puts first in the hand of physical Peter we have no approach to the throne of God which lieth ever in Revelation in the midst of the river of water of life. Peter will write two letters only. It is the business of intelligence to know the Pope Peter and his epistles for these will be ever and eternally "bull” letters under the law of the bull's eye. Now the bull's eye is the Fifth principle of the squared circle. Who sees this eye may declare I AM. Every word appropriated by ecclesiastical Peter as his own belongs to the Triune body of universal law. In every train of thought remember that the Law has a passenger aboard which humanity has left behind. Every Bull issued by the Pope of nature will be an Irish Bull, born of the law of equal opposites. In reading the Word intelligence will see the equal opposite statement and lift up one which is I. Every word issuing from the whole nature law may be greeted with Nine Cheers. In this C there must be Seven to Hail Mary; one risen from the See. And in that day seven shall claim One. The Law of creation has evolved the English language for its own glory, to be its own interpreter. It's a merry word, turning sighing into song.

As a first masculine dimension of revelation the biblical record is a word of tragedy. As a Fourth all tears are wiped away. Its one song is the song of an hundred and forty and four thousand; its one sign is the sign of the cross born in a center

Its

between opposites forming the square and its circle. Its one star is a five pointed star. Its one wisdom is the wisdom of three seeking One. one union is a union of Heaven and earth in an Eleven hour. Its one river is a circle flowing upon this side and upon that. Its one fruit is triune fruit gathering the midst from either side for the healing of the nations. Its one day is nor day nor night but the witching time of the even. Its one night is a Twelfth Night" where the man and the woman are so neither that we have simply What You Will.. Its one eye-and the only one by which it is ever to be read-is the hundred eyes of Argus, who uses two at once with the strength of 10 in Two-and still has forty left for the One Law in each eye, by which to search that which therein is remembering, always remembering, to take the mythical regenerative "forty winks"— with the Nine points of the Law in each wink—to arrive, in the beginning, in the midst of a circle of 360 degrees, a full fledged Knight of a Round Table and, having kept the vow of allegience to the woman, a member of King Arthur's Court. "Why then, methinks 'tis time to smile again, O World."

CHAPTER II

THE KEY OF DAVID

"These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth: and shutteth, and no man openeth." -Revelation 3, 7.

"Whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said unto him, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Blessed art thou Sinmon-barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father in heaven. And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my church. . . . He turned and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me Satan: for thou art an offence unto me: for thou savorest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men."

Peter is the first dimension. Simon-bar-jona is the third in the midst of two standing opposite the Christ with the reflection of the triune body upon him. "And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter."

"And He shall give his angels charge lest thou dash thy foot against a stone." Without the angels of the fourth dimension guarding the understanding the word is hopelessly confused by the external part which is a witness on earth and not a record of heaven until the heave offering which externalizes the Nine of the square is made.

The Fourth dimension is dependent upon the third for its form. Peter is the first physical dim
