1. Then that blessed Father, who has the Bright Ships for residence and habitation or greatness, with His usual kindness brings to His vital substance aid, by which it is withdrawn and freed from impious attach-ments and difficulties and torments. So by His invisible signal He transforms those of His Powers  which are held in this most brilliant Ship, and makes them appear to the hostile Powers which have been allotted  to the various regions of the skies.' As these consist of both sexes, males and females, He orders the aforesaid Powers to appear, some in the form of unclad youths to the hostile race of females, some in the shape of dazzling maidens to the opposite tribe of males know mg all those hostile Powers would be most easily captured because of an innate mortal and most unclean longing for Himself; and be enslaved by the same most beautiful forms Which appear, and in this way be dissolved.
2. Now you must know that this same blessed Father of ours is indeed the very same as His Powers, whom He for an inevitable reason changes into the inviolate likeness of boys and maidens. But He makes use of these as it were His own weapons, and by means of them fulfils His own will. The Bright Ships  are indeed full of these divine Powers, which are arranged opposite the infernal races as the equivalent of a partner, and which with alacrity and ease carry out in the same moment what they have planned. So then, when reason has required them to appear to the males, the same holy Powers show their Image in the form of most beautiful maidens; again, when it has come to women, putting aside the shapes of maidens, they  show the shape of unclad boys.
3. Now at this alluring sight their ardor and desire increases, and in this way the chain of their worst thought is loosed, and the Living Soul that was -hid in the members of the same (demonesses), being by this event released, escapes and is mixed with its own purest air; 1.where, being cleansed inwardly, the Souls ascend to the Bright Ships which have been made ready for them to embark and cross over to their own country. That indeed which up to now carried the stains of the hostile race descends bit by bit through burning' and beat and is mixed with the trees and other plants and all the seeds, and is colored with various hues.
4. And, this done, out of that great and most bril-liant ship the figures of boys and maidens appear to the opposite Powers that live in the skies and have a fiery nature; and, being loosed by that beautiful sight, the part of Life which is held in their members is led down through the heat on to the earth. In the same way also, that most high Power which dwells in the Ship of Living Waters appears to these Powers whose nature is cold and wet, and which are allotted to the skies, in the likeness of boys and holy maidens  through his own messengers. He also appears to those  who are females in the form of boys among them: but to the males (in the form) of maidens. By this chang-ing and variati6n of the divine and most beautiful persons, then, the Rulers of the wet and cold root, male or female, are dissolved, and that which is vital in them escapes; a while what will remain is loosed and led down on to the earth through the cold and mixed with all earth's species (NB. 14).
