And from the eighth mountain, where there[*](The eighth mountain) were many springs and all the creation of the Lord was given to drink from the springs, are such

believers as these:

Apostles and teachers who preached to all the world, and taught reverently and purely the word of the Lord, and kept nothing back for evil desire, but always walked in righteousness and truth, even as they had received the Holy Spirit. The passing of such is with the angels.[*](That is, after death they will be with the angels. Cf. notes on Herm. Vis. ii. 2, 7 and on Martyr. Polycarp. ii. 3.)
