1 And the angel that was sent to me, whose name was Uriel, gave me an answer,
2 and said to me, your heart has utterly failed you in regarding this world, and think you to comprehend the way of the Most High?
3 Then said I, Yes my Lord. And he answered me, and said, I am sent to show you three ways, and to set forth three similitudes before you:
4 whereof if you can declare me one, I also will show you the way that you desire to see, and I will teach you wherefore the heart is wicked.
5 And I said, say on, my Lord. Then said he to me, Go to, weigh me a weight of fire, or measure me a measure of wind, or call me again the day that is past.
