CHAPTER 35 CONCERNING THE FIRST PART OF THE BEARD OF MICROPROSOPUS. “‘When the Universe has need of Mercy, mercies are strong, and prevail over Judgment; but when it requires Judgment, Judgment is strong, and prevails over Mercy; and therefore is it necessary that in each instance they should be firm and strong.’‘But when that holy white beard is uncovered, all these (hairs denoting Mercy) and all those (hairs denoting Judgment) are alike illuminated and made brilliant, like as when a man cleans himself in a deep river from his uncleanness.’‘And all consist together in Mercy, and there is no Judgment to be found at all.’‘And when all those nine forms shine together, all are made white with Mercy.’‘And therefore is it written, Daniel 7:9: “His head like pure wool.”’‘But those which are in Microprosopus are partly hard and partly not hard because they all hang down and are not diverted from their course.’‘And therefore Wisdom flows forth and proceeds (therefrom); but it is not the Wisdom of Wisdom, for that is quiet and tranquil.’‘For we have learned that no one knows the brain of the Ancient of Days save Himself alone.’‘This is that very thing which is said, Job 28: “God understands the way thereof; which (words) are spoken concerning Microprosopus.”’”
