And if freedom has degrees among the servants of God, then the non-free are greater in God’s degree and more complete in description, and the origin with them is a guardian who protects them from abandoning freedom and enslaving what wisdom gives. If you say how many degrees freedom has, then we say that in the knowers of the people of humanity it is six hundred and forty-nine degrees, and in the knowers of The people of good manners have fifty-four degrees and two hundred degrees, and among the people of humanity there are six hundred and eighteen degrees, and among the people of good manners there are two hundred and twenty-three degrees. These degrees are specific to those who abandon freedom, and the degree of abandonment increases what abandonment gives him due to his adhering to wisdom and preserving the principle in order to preserve freedom.
