Sicut Moïses exaltavit serpentem in deserto, ita exaltari oportet filium hominis ut omnis qui credit in ipsum; non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam. Joan. cap. 3. v. 14.15 ... Lettering continues: "Comme Moïse éleva le serpent dans le desert, ainsi il faut que le fils de l'homme soit élevé a fin que quiconque croira en lui, ne perisse point, mais qu'il ait la vie eternelle. St. Jean ch. 3. v. 14.15. C. le Brun inv. et pinxit. Ben. Audran delin. Tardieu sculp. Avec privilege du roy"
