BOOK 12<br />
“<strong>The</strong> law of God exact, He shall fulfill the Covenant,<br />
His Son <strong>by</strong> sacrifice shall endure thy punishment,<br />
Endure <strong>by</strong> becoming flesh.” said Michael.<br />
“Seized upon with force <strong>by</strong> his own nation, on cross laid,<br />
Overseen <strong>by</strong> all, the Son, will be there crucifi'd.<br />
Now all punishment for man’s transgression paid.<br />
“Redemption proclaims He, life to all who believe,<br />
Even disciples to teach all nations shall He leave.<br />
Death over him no power shall usurp or cleave.<br />
Ere the third dawning light He will return,<br />
Even to refute the wages that sin doth earn. And<br />
Man’s redeemer from death will be redeemed <strong>and</strong><br />
Shall bruise the head of Satan.”<br />
