y_fw-fr e_o mother_n of_o such_o a_o child_n for_o i_o think_v mary_n be_v not_o call_v a_o stock_n and_o a_o root_n therefore_o only_o because_o that_o above_o nature_n &_o unstayned_a flore_fw-la of_o her_o maydenheade_n she_o become_v a_o mother_n as_o it_o be_v also_o above_o nature_n y_fw-fr e_o a_o rod_n shall_v springe_n of_o a_o dead_a block_n but_o also_o because_o that_o she_o be_v of_o a_o kynglye_o stock_n and_o of_o david_n kindred_n which_o be_v sontyme_o bud_v floryssh_v honourable_a puyssaunte_a rich_a and_o happy_a both_o in_o his_o and_z s_z time_n and_o a_o thing_n great_o set_v by_o among_o man_n but_o at_o the_o last_o when_o christ_n shall_v come_v do_v the_o high_a preste_n usurp_v and_o take_v to_o themselves_o that_o dignity_n have_v the_o rule_n alone_o and_o the_o kingly_a progeny_n or_o kindred_n be_v fall_v to_o extreme_a proverte_a and_o despyse_v as_o a_o dead_a block_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n nor_o look_n for_o more_o that_o any_o king_n of_o great_a worship_n and_o renown_n shall_v spring_v of_o it_o and_o when_o it_o be_v in_o this_o state_n and_o even_o come_v to_o y_fw-es e_fw-es low_a than_o do_v christ_n come_v of_o a_o small_a stock_n bear_v of_o a_o simple_a and_o poor_a virgin_n and_o so_o the_o rod_n and_o blossom_n of_o such_o a_o person_n as_o the_o doughter_n of_o my_o lord_n annas_n &_o caiphas_n will_v not_o have_v wytesafe_v to_o have_v do_v the_o vyle_v service_n of_o their_o handmayden_n thus_o go_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o his_o sight_n in_o the_o depth_n and_o the_o work_n and_o look_n of_o man_n only_o in_o the_o heyghte_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o her_o loud_a song_n of_o praise_n which_o we_o will_v now_o hear_v from_o verse_n to_o verse_n my_o soul_n magnify_v the_o lord_n that_o word_n bru_v out_o of_o a_o vehement_n heat_n and_o overflow_a joy_n wherewith_o her_o mind_n and_o conversation_n heave_v itself_o whole_o in_o spirit_n inward_o wherefore_o she_o say_v not_o

for_o the_o spirit_n may_v live_v well_o enough_o without_o the_o body_n but_o so_o may_v not_o the_o body_n this_o part_n see_v we_o also_o that_o even_o as_o we_o sleep_v it_o do_v live_v and_o
