one substance, two such in one,
three persons in one substance,
four books that reveal this truth,
five books that reveal the law,
seven perfection, twelve
fathers foreseers followers,
twenty two twenty four twenty
seven letters and books,
forty days or years
in the desert, forty nine

ten thousand, a hundred thousand,
a thousand thousand, for ever
revealed alone in the naught
by which alone is revealed
