Eyes for mine eyes could not have beheld for I should have withered & died in his presence but his glory was upon me & I beheld his face for I was transfigured before him & now it come to pass that when Moses had said these words behold Satan came tempting him Saying Moses Son of Man worship me & it came to pass that Moses looked upon Satan & saith who art thou for behold I am a Son of God in the Similitude of his only begotten & where is thy glory that I should worship thee, for before I could not look upon God except his glory Should come upon me & I were transfigurd before him but I can look upon thee in the natural man is it not so surely. blessed be the name of my God for his Spirit has not altogether withdrawn from me or else where is thy glory for it is blackness unto me. & I can judge between thee & God for God said unto me worship God [p. 88]
