Ad significandum hoc ipsum verbum in mundum venturum, nobis omnia Mysteria & voluntatem Patris sui revelaturum, item per purissimum suum λύτρον in Ara Crucis pro nobis responsurum, è Labyrintho peccati & servitute Diaboli nos exemturum, nec non à morte æternâ nos liberaturum, deque perfectâ hâc nostrâ redemptione per verum & perfectissimum Album & Rubrum realiter esse satisfacturum.

Candida Phoenix Philosophica: Part II — Chapter 13: The Controversy Over Light

224–225

This was to signify that the same Word would come into the world, reveal to us all mysteries and his Father’s will, and answer for us upon the altar of the Cross through his purest ransom. He would deliver us from the labyrinth of sin and the devil’s bondage, free us from eternal death, and make real satisfaction for our complete redemption through the true and most perfect White and Red.

224–225
