the_o archangel_n gabriel_n do_v right_o expound_v this_o prophecy_n in_o luke_n for_o after_o he_o have_v salute_v mary_n he_o say_v loe_o thou_o shall_v conceive_v in_o thy_o womb_n and_o bear_v a_o

say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v come_v upon_o thou_o and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o high_a shall_v overshadow_v thou_o therefore_o also_o that_o holy_a thing_n that_o shall_v be_v bear_v of_o thou_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god._n ¶_o anna._n this_o by_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o believe_v constant_o neither_o do_v i_o doubt_v but_o that_o christ_n be_v bear_v

people_n the_o jew_n enemy_n to_o christ_n exclaim_v say_v that_o haalmah_n do_v not_o signify_v a_o virgin_n but_o a_o maid_n or_o young_a woman_n already_o marry_v to_o a_o man_n and_o whereas_o they_o contemn_v the_o virginity_n of_o mary_n and_o false_o accuse_v it_o as_o feign_a and_o sing_v they_o also_o wrest_v this_o prophecy_n other_o way_n then_o to_o mary_n according_a as_o our_o

deny_v the_o authority_n &_o testimony_n of_o the_o new_a ☞_o vrb._n the_o jew_n as_o utter_a enemy_n to_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o gospel_n object_n in_o deed_n many_o thing_n against_o this_o prophecy_n but_o all_o without_o ground_n and_o reason_n but_o that_o you_o may_v better_o understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o prophecy_n i_o will_v first_o expound_v unto_o you_o certain_a hebrew_n word_n and_o clear_v the_o controversy_n in_o some_o principal_a point_n whereof_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o controversy_n do_v depend_v the_o jew_n have_v three_o word_n which_o signify_v maid_n the_o first_o be_v naerah_n which_o signify_v a_o young_a woman_n maid_n or_o no_o maid_n for_o as_o rabbi_n lizhak_n nathan_n testify_v the_o true_a signification_n of_o this_o word_n be_v general_o youth_n the_o second_o word_n be_v bthulah_n which_o as_o the_o same_o rabbi_n say_v signify_v a_o pure_a shamefast_a virgin_n the_o three_o word_n be_v haalmah_n which_o in_o this_o place_n the_o prophet_n use_v of_o mary_n as_o most_o proper_a and_o fit_a for_o the_o purpose_n for_o it_o signify_v a_o virgin_n who_o virginity_n be_v pure_a and_o untouched_a but_o ripe_a marigeable_a and_o able_a to_o bear_v child_n and_o it_o be_v worthy_a the_o observation_n that_o this_o word_n be_v never_o take_v in_o holy_a scripture_n for_o a_o young_a woman_n that_o have_v know_v a_o man_n this_o also_o be_v as_o well_o worth_a note_n that_o haalmah_n do_v not_o signify_v general_o every_o maid_n which_o be_v pure_a and_o untouched_a be_v but_o as_o s._n hierome_n note_v a_o virgin_n close_o keep_v in_o who_o the_o parent_n diligent_o careful_o and_o watchful_o retain_v and_o keep_v in_o at_o home_n this_o may_v be_v gather_v of_o the_o word_n schoresth_n for_o alum_n signify_v to_o hide_v cover_n &_o keep_v out_o of_o sight_n and_o so_o be_v mary_n call_v haalmah_o not_o only_o because_o she_o be_v a_o pure_a and_o undefiled_a virgin_n but_o because_o the_o young_a maid_n which_o be_v diligent_o and_o vigilant_o keep_v up_o of_o her_o parent_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n godly_a and_o holy_o bring_v up_o &_o virtuous_o instruct_v and_o the_o prophet_n can_v not_o have_v use_v a_o word_n more_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o fit_a for_o this_o place_n them_z this_o word_n haalmah_n which_o most_o proper_o agree_v with_o mary_n for_o bthulah_n signify_v indifferent_o any_o maid_n as_o well_o young_a as_o old_a whether_o she_o be_v fit_a for_o child_n bear_v or_o not_o there_o be_v many_o maid_n well_o strike_v in_o age_n of_o threescore_o or_o threescore_o and_o ten_o year_n old_a and_o so_o unfit_a for_o to_o bear_v child_n but_o the_o prophet_n will_v here_o declare_v and_o set_v forth_o a_o virgin_n both_o young_a marigeable_a and_o fruitful_a second_o the_o jew_n all_o without_o reason_n stand_v upon_o no_o ground_n but_o only_o desirous_a to_o make_v brawl_n be_v in_o heart_n obstinate_o impudent_o and_o wilful_o blind_v and_o harden_v cavil_n and_o false_o say_v that_o haalmah_o signify_v a_o young_a woman_n which_o in_o marriage_n have_v already_o know_v a_o man_n but_o they_o may_v be_v convince_v and_o prove_v liar_n out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o which_o haalmah_o never_o signify_v a_o young_a woman_n that_o have_v have_v the_o company_n of_o man_n but_o only_o a_o pure_a chaste_a and_o undefiled_a virgin_n virgin._n as_o in_o genesis_n rebecka_n when_o she_o be_v not_o yet_o marry_v to_o isaac_n be_v call_v haalmah_o and_o as_o then_o certain_o she_o have_v never_o know_v man_n but_o be_v a_o pure_a &_o chaste_a virgin_n as_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n and_o history_n manifest_o and_o without_o question_n do_v prove_v and_o convince_v the_o text_n in_o exodus_fw-la use_v the_o same_o

which_o be_v both_o laborious_a to_o recite_v &_o yet_o not_o great_o needful_a in_o so_o plain_a a_o matter_n but_o the_o jew_n allege_v a_o other_o thing_n to_o wit_n that_o this_o prophecy_n import_v and_o be_v mean_v of_o king_n achas_n his_o son_n ezekia_n &_o they_o say_v that_o he_o be_v give_v to_o the_o house_n of_o david_n as_o a_o sign_n by_o which_o they_o may_v know_v that_o
