From Letter XXII
4523
.—
(For 350.)
Where
our Lord Jesus
Christ, who took upon Him to die for all, stretched forth His hands,
not somewhere on the earth beneath, but in the air itself, in order
that the Salvation effected by the Cross might be shewn to be for all
men everywhere: destroying the devil who was working in the air: and
that He might consecrate our road up to Heaven, and make it free.
