One. Christ, the Decad is the Monad; God, the Monad, is the Decad; and both are also the Pentad: the 5-pointed classical cross 3⁄4 X 3⁄4 or Plato’s celestial Chi,130 identified by exegetical tradition with the Cross of Christ, and for Dante, highly likely, the substantial centre of DXV. As Cacciaguda affirms, we come to know the five and six only by the one.
Moreover, the addition and multiplication of the masculine 3 and the feminine 2 produce the marriage numbers, 5 and 6.131 Both imitate the first cause, since they are incorruptible by multiplication, and always return to themselves (5x5 = 25 x 5 = 125; 6 x 6 = 36 and so on). Curiously, if the antecedent and consequent pentads of 515 are hinged on the one, or as Cacciaguda says, the five and six as radiated by the one, then each pentad added to the one derives six (5+1=6 and 1+5=6) in virtue of the one participating in each pentad. Thus, it derives the very six letters of Veltro, Feltro, Cinque, King David (as ‘Cantor’ of the Holy Spirit), Lucia (as the light), and ΙΗΣΟΥΣ (as the word, logos, and living light). Thus, the One radiates the five-letter Jesus towards the six-letter Christ-Cristo as the Messiah for here Jesus is the warrior Messiah132 and the prophecy of Zech. 12:10-14 is applied to him.133 Thus, too, the One radiates the five-letter Diece towards the 6-letter Cinque, centre and consequent of Dante’s prophecy. Thus, too, the One radiates King David towards the promised advent of the redeeming Christ from the Tribe of Judah. Christ as the figurative, symbolic Lion-Hound, too, of Jeremiah 5:6 and Apocalypses 5:5 and 22:5 3⁄4 the lion of the Tribe of Judah, the root of King David, and the morning star134 whose fifth seal radiates the souls of the just slain for God’s words, whose sixth seal of doom and wrath reveals earthquake, black sun and bloody moon, star-fall and heaven’s crawl.

131 Six is the female marriage number. Plutarch. De E apud Delphos. 8. Its imperfection as female is overlooked in view of the fact that it is the only perfect number within the Decad partaking of the basic numbers, 1, 2, and 3. Plutarch, De animae procreatione, 13; Iamblichus, Biography, 28. It is called Venus by Capella. De nuptiis, VII. 68

133 cf. Matt. 24:30. The Messiah does not die in battle for he has already died and is alive again. The Messiah is not a bull, as in the Jewish tradition, but a slain lamb ( Rev 5:6) who has loved his people and loosed them from their sins by his blood (Rev 1:6).
