Sacred Books and Traditions of the Yezidiz, by Isya Joseph, [1919], at sacred-texts.com
O ye that have believed in me, honor my symbol and my image, for they remind you of me. Observe my laws and statutes. Obey my servants and listen to whatever they may dictate to you of the hidden things. Receive that that is dictated, and do not carry it before those who are without, Jews, Christians, Moslems, and others; for they know not the nature of my teaching. Do not give them your books, lest they alter them without your knowledge. Learn by heart the greater part of them, lest they be altered.
Thus endeth the book of Al-Jilwah, which is followed by the book of Maṣḥaf Reš, i.e., the Black Book.
