my_o 5._o mother_n conceive_v i_o before_o our_o birth_n and_o in_o our_o birth_n we_o be_v unclean_a and_o from_o our_o uncleanenes_n our_o mother_n also_o become_v unclean_a which_o very_o plain_o and_o true_o confute_v that_o gross_a error_n of_o pelagius_n deny_v the_o propagation_n of_o sin_n from_o parent_n to_o child_n and_o origine_fw-la affirm_v that_o by_o imitation_n only_o and_o not_o original_o we_o become_v evil_a but_o if_o the_o birth_n be_v clean_o the_o mother_n by_o the_o birth_n shall_v not_o become_v unclean_a as_o this_o ceremony_n of_o purify_n do_v shadow_n that_o she_o be_v god_n will_v therefore_o have_v all_o man_n know_v what_o they_o be_v by_o nature_n and_o inheritance_n from_o their_o parent_n and_o what_o by_o grace_n through_o the_o remedy_n provide_v

for_o and_o uncare_v for_o 3_o but_o why_o then_o be_v the_o virgin_n marie_n purify_v since_o the_o child_n she_o bear_v have_v no_o uncleanenes_n or_o corruption_n in_o he_o be_v neither_o conceive_v nor_o bear_v in_o sin_n but_o the_o immaculate_a lamb_n and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o although_o christ_n in_o himself_o be_v not_o 19_o only_o pure_a but_o even_o purity_n itself_o and_o the_o virgin_n marie_n his_o mother_n be_v not_o indeed_o proper_o and_o direct_o subject_a to_o this_o law_n because_o she_o conceive_v not_o by_o man_n seed_n of_o which_o the_o law_n be_v mean_v and_o christ_n 8._o be_v lord_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o please_v he_o to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o person_n of_o all_o mankind_n which_o be_v corrupt_a and_o sinful_a so_o and_o in_o that_o respect_n both_o he_o and_o the_o bless_a virgin_n become_v obedient_a to_o the_o law_n he_o say_v the_o apostle_n that_o he_o may_v redeem_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o 5._o the_o law_n who_o be_v indeed_o subject_a to_o it_o as_o also_o by_o this_o his_o voluntary_a submission_n to_o it_o he_o may_v take_v away_o abrogate_v and_o give_v a_o end_n to_o this_o ceremony_n so_o that_o now_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a to_o present_v any_o child_n in_o the_o temple_n with_o a_o offer_v as_o then_o be_v use_v but_o all_o purity_n and_o cleanenes_n be_v to_o be_v seek_v for_o in_o christ_n jesus_n himself_o only_o the_o body_n and_o truth_n of_o all_o these_o figure_n and_o shadow_n 17._o in_o the_o law_n 4_o a_o question_n again_o may_v be_v ask_v why_o the_o time_n 5._o of_o purification_n be_v double_v in_o a_o woman-childe_n to_o that_o it_o be_v in_o a_o man-child_n and_o answer_n be_v make_v by_o some_o that_o it_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o a_o natural_a cause_n in_o the_o body_n which_o i_o leave_v other_o because_o in_o woman_n there_o be_v more_o vice_n and_o evil_a than_o in_o man_n a_o hard_a judgement_n and_o without_o any_o warrant_n for_o who_o know_v what_o be_v in_o either_o but_o only_a god_n i_o mean_v the_o greatness_n and_o full_a measure_n of_o evil_a three_o therefore_o it_o be_v answer_v and_o with_o more_o probability_n that_o it_o be_v because_o the_o woman_n be_v the_o beginning_n of_o our_o fall_n deceive_v her_o 14._o husband_n when_o she_o be_v deceive_v herself_o and_o so_o draw_v all_o her_o posterity_n into_o the_o like_a fall_n and_o ruin_n with_o she_o but_o the_o last_o answer_n and_o best_a as_o i_o think_v be_v because_o a_o man-child_n be_v circumcise_v and_o not_o the_o woman_n therefore_o the_o punishment_n of_o be_v unclean_a be_v lessen_v in_o the_o male_a and_o double_v in_o the_o female_a 5_o the_o difference_n of_o offer_v allow_v to_o the_o poor_a 8._o sort_n very_o
