Provisional translation

God beareth witness that there is none other God but Him, and He Who hath come from the Most Exalted Horizon, verily He is the Lord of all humanity, the Sovereign of both throne and dust, the Master of the hereafter and this world. Whoso cleaveth unto Him hath truly laid hold on God's mighty cord, and whoso turneth away [3.5s]

BLIB. Manuscripts in the British Library, London, listed by Or number. For a handlist of works of the Báb see Chapter 25 of https://archive.org/details/descriptivelisto00brituoft/page/n3. Regarding manuscripts in the series Or16590 through Or15740, which together comprise half of all known works of Bahá’u’lláh, including some 4,000 items which are uniquely accessible in this series: These were the bequest of a descendent of the family of Bahá’u’lláh; were mostly transcribed by Mírzá Muḥammad-‘Alí, and are likely to have been derived in part from the two stolen satchels of Bahá’u’lláh’s papers mentioned in GPB p.249 and MMK4#189 p.276. While included here owing to their importance, their degree of fidelity to the originals has not yet been ascertained
