be_v but_o in_o babel_n in_o his_o own_o reason_n 31._o therefore_o we_o set_v it_o down_o here_o according_a to_o our_o knowledge_n that_o the_o pure_a chaste_a virgin_n in_o which_o god_n be_v bear_v or_o generate_v be_v the_o chaste_a virgin_n that_o be_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v a_o eternal_a virgin_n before_o ever_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v create_v it_o be_v

when_o we_o shall_v write_v of_o the_o suffering_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o the_o virgin_n we_o will_v so_o clear_v it_o that_o thou_o o_o thirsty_a soul_n shall_v find_v a_o

of_o adam_n then_o she_o shall_v be_v far_o inferior_a to_o adam_n no_o belove_a reason_n it_o be_v not_o so_o the_o fiat_n be_v a_o sharp_a attract_v take_v from_o adam_n of_o all_o essence_n and_o

not_o at_o all_o with_o this_o deformity_n understand_v it_o right_o in_o the_o ground_n he_o shall_v be_v and_o he_o be_v also_o a_o man_n and_o he_o have_v a_o virginlike_a heart_n whole_o chaste_a in_o the_o matrix_fw-la 19_o therefore_o eve_n be_v for_o certain_a create_v out_o of_o all_o adam_n essence_n and_o so_o adam_n thereupon_o have_v a_o great_a rent_n and_o so_o likewise_o the_o

the_o son_n of_o the_o virgin_n have_v not_o only_o suffer_v his_o side_n to_o be_v pierce_v through_o and_o shed_v his_o blood_n out_o of_o the_o hole_n of_o his_o side_n but_o he_o have_v also_o
