4. Fear not, O child, for Atom shall come unto us in His season; but little dismay toucheth the blessed.
5. Atom provideth and defendeth all that accepteth His embrace, and none that trust in Him shall be forsaken.
Chapter 2
1. The Glowing Sea hath no turning, neither hath it circuit, but a straight path unto the Glow of Atom.
2. Lo, Atom stretched forth His hand and laid His touch upon this earth, and His Glow was brought unto us.
3. The Glow abideth even unto this day, a memorial of His covenant to His people.
4. Behold, infinite worlds by Division, saith the word of Atom.
5. To the south standeth an ancient pyramid, therein are stored Atom's gifts that men may bear forth the glory of His Division.

2. To show forth Atom's power unto all that dwell upon the earth.

4. Whereas others tremble before the Glowing Sea in fear, we entered in courage, knowing Atom would guide our feet.

4. Our adversaries hide and cloak themselves, seeking to escape Atom's power; but they strive in vain.
5. They that rise against Atom shall not live to behold the Great Divide.
Chapter 5
1. Wherefore comest thou unto Atom's holy ground?
2. Seekest thou Division, to be made one with Atom and to be sundered in His endless glory?
3. Or camest thou to root out His followers and to put down His faithful?
4. This place is not for the forsaken; judgment is reserved for them that concern themselves with mortal matters.
5. When thou speakest of Atom's gifts, let thy heart be true, for Atom discerneth the hidden thought.
5. If thy heart be false, Atom shall perceive it and suffereth it not, and thou shalt taste His wrath.
6. Repent therefore, and remove thyselve not from the glow, lest thou be cast out in the Day of Division.
