whether_o they_o know_v we_o in_o particular_a or_o not_o or_o in_o what_o instance_n they_o express_v their_o charity_n towards_o we_o god_n have_v make_v no_o revelation_n of_o these_o thing_n we_o

to_o deny_v we_o as_o to_o the_o virgin_n mary_n in_o particular_a we_o do_v with_o man_n and_o angel_n acknowledge_v that_o she_o be_v bless_v among_o woman_n since_o she_o bring_v forth_o the_o

the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o confession_n so_o honourable_a to_o her_o be_v inseparable_a from_o a_o right_a belief_n concern_v our_o lord_n jesus_n we_o do_v not_o only_o set_v it_o forth_o upon_o the_o anniversary_n of_o the_o annunciation_n but_o frequent_o also_o in_o our_o sermon_n and_o daily_o in_o the_o creed_n moreover_o we_o take_v these_o singular_a grace_n of_o god_n towards_o she_o in_o conjunction_n with_o other_o thing_n of_o a_o more_o common_a quality_n we_o doubt_v not_o but_o she_o be_v a_o excellent_o pious_a and_o virtuous_a person_n 1._o luke_n 1._o we_o see_v by_o her_o behaviour_n when_o the_o angel_n gabriel_n come_v to_o she_o that_o she_o be_v not_o apt_a to_o be_v impose_v upon_o by_o counterfeit_a vision_n and_o revelation_n nor_o forward_o to_o believe_v great_a thing_n of_o herself_o nor_o lift_v up_o with_o pride_n because_o she_o be_v so_o high_o favour_v but_o that_o upon_o this_o extraordinary_a occasion_n she_o whole_o resign_v herself_o to_o the_o disposal_n of_o god_n with_o a_o wisdom_n and_o humility_n that_o can_v not_o but_o be_v habitual_a but_o if_o nothing_o at_o all_o have_v be_v say_v of_o her_o personal_a quality_n in_o the_o scripture_n as_o indeed_o there_o be_v but_o very_o little_a we_o may_v have_v presume_v without_o rashness_n that_o because_o god_n who_o have_v no_o less_o regard_n to_o a_o holy_a mind_n then_o to_o a_o pure_a body_n will_v have_v the_o mother_n of_o our_o lord_n to_o retain_v the_o purity_n of_o a_o virgin_n he_o will_v also_o choose_v a_o most_o holy_a

for_o which_o reason_n likewise_o we_o may_v have_v conclude_v without_o other_o testimony_n that_o she_o become_v afterward_o a_o faithful_a disciple_n of_o her_o son_n for_o when_o one_o in_o admiration_n of_o he_o cry_v out_o bless_a be_v the_o womb_n that_o bear_v thou_o and_o the_o pap_n that_o give_v thou_o suck_v yea_o rather_o say_v he_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o without_o which_o blessedness_n she_o that_o bear_v he_o in_o her_o womb_n and_o nourish_v he_o at_o her_o breast_n will_v have_v be_v just_o esteem_v by_o all_o generation_n the_o most_o unhappy_a and_o miserable_a creature_n in_o the_o world_n final_o from_o all_o this_o we_o can_v but_o conclude_v that_o she_o be_v very_o happy_a and_o glorious_a in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n for_o though_o we_o have_v no_o particular_a revelation_n concern_v this_o to_o warrant_v any_o comparison_n of_o her_o state_n with_o that_o of_o angel_n and_o archangel_n yet_o upon_o general_a reason_n we_o may_v say_v with_o sufficient_a assurance_n that_o her_o reward_n and_o glory_n in_o heaven_n be_v exceed_o great_a and_o such_o as_o hold_v proportion_n not_o only_o with_o her_o faith_n and_o patience_n for_o as_o some_o think_v she_o suffer_v martyrdom_n but_o likewise_o with_o that_o honour_n which_o god_n be_v please_v to_o confer_v upon_o she_o in_o this_o world_n now_o if_o any_o thing_n remain_v whereby_o to_o express_v the_o tenderness_n we_o have_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o b._n virgin_n it_o be_v this_o that_o we_o shall_v do_v what_o we_o can_v to_o redeem_v her_o name_n from_o that_o dishonourable_a imputation_n of_o affect_v glory_n that_o can_v belong_v to_o the_o most_o excellent_a creature_n that_o be_v but_o a_o creature_n for_o they_o who_o by_o most_o solemn_a rite_n of_o religious_a service_n address_v to_o she_o as_o to_o the_o queen_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n will_v make_v we_o believe_v
