Although the main body of this Liber is Class A, the attribution of letters to the English Alphabet is not of that level. These letters were added at a later date by Crowley, and with the later revisions of Liber DCCLXXVII, form one approach toward an English Qabalah. These letters are positioned to the left of the trigrams in this text.

     Also the purity was divided by Strength, the force	of the Demiurge.

     And the Cross was formulated in the Universe that as yet was not.

     But now the Imperfection became manifest, presiding over the fading of perfection.

     Also the Woman arose, and veiled the Upper	Heaven with her	body of	stars.

     Now then a	giant arose, of	terrible strength; and asserted	the Spirit in a	secret rite.

     And the Master of the Temple balancing all	things arose; his stature was above the	Heaven and below Earth and Hell.

     Against him the Brothers of the Left-hand Path, confusing the symbols.  They concealed their horror [in this symbol]; for in truth	they were - -

     Likewise also did certain sons and	daughters of Hermes and	of Aphrodite, more openly

     But the Enemy confused them.  They	pretended to conceal that Light, that they might betray	it, and	profane	it.

• - B. *

     Yet certain holy nuns concealed the secret	in songs upon the lyre.

     Now did the Horror	of Time	pervert	all things, hiding the Purity with a loathsome thing, a	thing unnameable.

     And in soft light.

     Then were the waters gathered together from the heaven,
