The Fountain of Wisdom

The second [part], etc. Part Two is completed, etc. and the rest of his soul is from his secret:
From those who stand, and the mysteries, and the Holy Spirit Ruach HaKodesh: Divine inspiration or the prophetic spirit is enwrapped, etc. and the rest of those who stand.
And the solitary one shines, etc. and the cautious one decrees and is decreed, holy
and holiness. And He made for them this established place and the hidden place; there the Explicit Name original: "Shem HaMeforash" - the hidden, four-letter name of God is called "Unique." And God said to Rabbi [Ishmael]: "I Am That I Am" Exodus 3:14 is divided into seventy-two letters. Therefore, the seventy-two letters are called the Explicit Name because they are the primary seventy-two roots, mixing with one another. And when the seventy-two letters were created, they were guarded, and their preservation included them all. He is enwrapped in them, and they are what remained in Him. Their inclusion is like their preservation; they were nullified as a whole and nullified [individually]. And the luminaries were sunken within the letters, and the letters were hovering within the Intellect, and they would return, mixing and joining together.

And it is finished and complete, praise be to God, Creator of the world.

It is issued in print at the request of the people of Poland (may their Rock and Redeemer protect them). One man, a man of renown and strength, did not wish to publicize himself or explain his name because of his [modesty regarding] iniquities.

For length
of days: and for a peaceful reward:
Amen and Amen.
