Elizabeth The second point shall be taken from the salutation of the Virgin and the effect thereof It is sayd that the Virgin entering into the house of Zachary saluted S. Elizabeth And it happened when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary the Infant exulted in her wombe And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost and cryed out with a great voice and sayd Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy wombe And how commeth this to me that the Mother of my Lord should come vnto me For behould as the voice of thy salutation was made in my eares the Infant in my wōbe exulted with ioy And blessed art thou which hast belieued because those thinges shall be performed which haue beene spoken to thee by our Lord.

Virgin had belieued knowing also the present as that she was happy and blessed aboue all women that she was great with a blessed fruit with the Sonne of God our Lord She knew also what was to come foretelling that those things that were tolde her should be accomplished Wherupon the Pilgrime shall consider how much the Sonne of God hath honoured his mother in making her so soone the instrument of the Holy Ghost and his cooperatresse to so high effects in what credit she must needes be now in heauen for the saluatiō of men hauing been enriched since with a thousand merits and prerogatiues and reigning with her Sonne heaped with eternal glory aboue all Angels and men And if her simple voice and salutation that did passe brought the Holy Ghost vnto the soules of men of what efficacy shall be her firme and constant prayer to obtayne vs the heauenly graces of the same Spirit to our saluation O B. Virgin make this heauenly voice of thine soūd vnto thy Pilgrime this voice so pleasing so powerfull this voice whereof the Spouse speaketh saying Cant. 2. Cant. 2. Let thy voice sound in my eares for it doth reioyce me Make it be heard O virgin and therewith obtayne me necessary help happily to accomplish the course of my mortall Pilgrimage The third point of the Meditation Of the Canticle of the B. Virgin Magnificat CHAP. XXX THE third point shall meditate the meaning of that notable Cāticle which our B. Lady vttered after S. Elizabeth had spoken Then saith the Gospell Mary sayd Luc. 1. 1. My soule doth magnify our Lord. 2. And my spirit hath exulted in God my Sauiour 3. Because he hath respected the humility of his hād-mayd for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed c. The B. Virgin hauing heard so many blessings and praises for those graces she had receiued and knowing that forgetfullnes Ingraritude ryseth of Pride ingratitude are two branches of pride very displeasing to Almighty God she tooke occasion to yield thankes vnto her benefactour to reioyce in him and sayd in hart and mouth I acknowledge my Lord my soule doth magnify and extoll him as authour of all the good you haue praised and prophesied in me O my deare Cousin I praise him from the bottome of my hart and with all my soule and glory in his graces and bountifull liberality not in myne owne merit It is he that hath cast his eyes vpon my litlenes and hath exalted me It is his bounty and blessing that is the soueraigne cause that all the nations of the world that shall liue vnder the scepter of his Sonne shall call that Mother happy that did beare him Luc. 1.49 4. For he hath done great things vnto me who is mighty holy is his Name A great thing it is that a Virgin should vow virginity among the Hebrewes a great thing it is that remayning a Virgin she should conceiue without man a great thing it is that she should be the most fruitfull Mother that euer was hauing borne but one child great things and vnheard of that the seruant should bring forth her maister the daughter her father the morning the sunne weaknes power the Creature her Creatour These are the great things and the wonders that are wrought in me his little Creature for the which my soule doth now magnify and exalt his holy Name Luc. 50. 5. And his mercy is from generation to generation to those that feare him For the mercy of our Lord is allwayes and shall be for euer Psal 102.17 but to them that liue in the feare of his lawes It was shewed to our first Father Adam promising him a Redeemer to Abel Noe Abraham to all our forefathers assisting them with gifts and graces and strengthening them in the hope of this Redeemer and will shew it selfe now more then euer sending according to his promise the same Redeemer not an Angel or only man but his owne Sonne God made man to repaire the ruines of men by his owne bloud to exalt their condition aboue the Angells Psalm 71 28.135.4 6. He hath wrought wonders with his arme and hath scattered the proud in the mind of their hart It is he onely that is omnipotent and mightily worketh these meruailes and all others It is he that hath drawne this great All from nothing who hath created these lightes heauenly pallaces these 4. partes of the whole world the fier aire water and all that is made of thē it

Apoc. 22.12 so carefull he is to encourage vs to do well His Apostles and seruants S. Paul S. Iohn and others haue spoken in like sort preaching alwayes that God will render vnto euery man according to his workes and liuing agreeably to their preaching How good workes merit paradise The second shall note that good workes measured by the foot of bare nature without any other quality and as an effect only of free will doe not merit eternall glory a limited action hauing no proportion to a recompence of an infinit valew but being considered not in it selfe but as grafted in heauenly grace and the infinite vigour of the holy Ghost dwelling in the soule giuing it the right of adoption towardes God by the merits of Iesus Christ The wōderful beginning o● birth of naturall thinges it contayneth in this respect the price of euerlasting glory And as we see in nature a little liuely seed to containe in it a hidden vertue and force to bring forth a great tree and fruit without number as for example a little nut incloseth in the seed a Nut-tree and millions of Nuttes and as many trees by succession for euer after so in a supernaturall sort the action of morall vertues quickened by the grace of God carieth a title and seed of the kingdome of heauen this is a meruailous strength vertue Prosper in Psal 111. and it is also from God whereupon S.
