And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.

I now thought all we had to do was to return the nearest way; but there were new difficulties still to encounter, and new scenes to behold still more beautiful than any I had yet seen. My guide now turned and went back towards the left, where I followed him through a large opening in the rock.

This was for atonement, for long ago by the Yang-tzekiang I should have died, and behold, I have lived until now.

The weary one was at rest, the heart of stone palpitated with a living breath, "The dead one heard the voice of the Son of God, and lived."
