Lettering: Incola Iordanis Christum ter flumine mergit,/ Christus ut infuso flamine tergat aquas./ Sic homo primævæ purgans contagia culpæ,/ Se patrem in coelis sentit habere Deum/ Culpa facit seruos, sed vincit gratia culpam,/ Ipsius ut nostro crimine crescai honor. A. d. Sarto invent. T. Cruger sculp.
