Transcribed from a dated scan; artifacts may remain. Edition notes

Now let us pass on to another lesson and teaching. There are two Ways of teaching and power, one of Light and one of Darkness. And there is a great difference between the two Ways. For over the one are set light-bringing angels of God, but over the other angels of Satan.

And the one is Lord from eternity and to eternity, and the other is the ruler of the present time of iniquity.
