DE PLENITUDINE EIUS.[1]

Of His fullness

The figure of Christ stands on a pedestal. Liquid flows from his stigmata and the wounds on his head and chest and flows from the basin on whihc he stands into a second wider basin much as a fountain. People, some of whom are badly crippled bow down to collect this liquid.

Pource tant eslongnés de Dieu sommes,
Qu’impossible est à nous de l’aprocher,
Naistre il a fait son fils semblable aux hommes,
Fors qu’il est net, & exempt de pecher.
Qui se veut donc de peché depescher,
Et de Satan fuir la servitude,
S’en vienne à Christ pour sa soif estancher:
Car nous puisons tous de sa plenitude.
