belong_v to_o be_v with_o child_n and_o to_o bring_v forth_o that_o be_v to_o do_v the_o part_n of_o a_o mother_n see_v therefore_o that_o marie_n be_v a_o mother_n in_o deed_n she_o be_v right_o call_v a_o woman_n for_o she_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o we_o which_o belong_v to_o a_o mother_n and_o not_o to_o a_o virgin_n although_o she_o bring_v it_o forth_o alone_o without_o the_o mean_n of_o man_n wherein_o she_o be_v declare_v both_o a_o singular_a virgin_n and_o woman_n but_o because_o it_o be_v of_o great_a importance_n to_o the_o apostle_n and_o unto_o all_o we_o that_o marie_n be_v a_o woman_n and_o thereby_o the_o mother_n of_o christ_n then_o that_o she_o be_v a_o virgin_n for_o that_o this_o be_v only_o a_o ornament_n unto_o she_o but_o in_o that_o she_o be_v a_o woman_n she_o bring_v forth_o he_o which_o be_v salvation_n unto_o all_o for_o this_o cause_n i_o say_v the_o apostle_n call_v she_o rather_o a_o woman_n then_o a_o virgin_n neither_o be_v it_o consider_v

of_o christ_n shall_v be_v a_o virgin_n the_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o it_o behove_v that_o christ_n shall_v be_v bear_v without_o sin_n and_o therefore_o without_o the_o commixtion_n of_o man_n for_o of_o the_o seed_n of_o a_o sinful_a man_n nothing_o can_v be_v bear_v but_o that_o which_o be_v defile_v with_o sin_n but_o it_o behove_v that_o christ_n shall_v be_v that_o bless_a seed_n who_o

of_o man_n a_o virgin_n be_v conceive_v with_o child_n by_o the_o only_a mean_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v full_a of_o blessing_n he_o may_v derive_v the_o same_o unto_o all_o believer_n so_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o god_n fulfil_v on_o either_o side_n and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o christ_n become_v both_o the_o true_a seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o yet_o free_a from_o all_o
