9 And after I had heard many things that amazed me mightily, then he that was upon my left hand, he did speak unto the other,
10 And he did say unto him, What thinkest thou concerning the Book that is of Artemas?
11 And he that was upon my right hand, he did wriggle him about in strange ways.
12 And after that he was wriggled about sufficiently, then did he make answer and he did say,
13 ¶ Speak not unto me concerning that Book, for I have a reason. Also, it is a secret.
14 And I did ope mine ears full wide for to hear, notwithstanding that he was that manner of man that expoundeth nought save only the things that be secret.
15 And he did say unto his friend, Nevertheless, because thou hast an open countenance and art, moreover, that man whom my soul loveth,
16 Therefore dost thou prevail upon me to impart unto thee that which thou shalt tell unto no man.
17 ¶ For I, even I, am he that did write the Book that is of Artemas.
18 Yea, notwithstanding that thou knowest me only as one that vendeth choice meats, nevertheless I did write me also that Book which is inscribed unto Eve.
