OF THE SONGS

Tone VI In this work, the author organizes chapters into "Tones," likely mirroring the eight tones of Gregorian chant to suggest a musical harmony in theology.

Tone VII

Christ is the King of kings and the highest Emperor, ruling and moderating all things.

Tone VIII

Christ is the mediator, through whom passage is given to all, so that they may arrive at their end.
