be_v thus_o it_o have_v be_v show_v to_o the_o hearer_n that_o christ_n be_v to_o come_v when_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o people_n shall_v fail_v and_o the_o seventy_o week_n of_o daniel_n shall_v be_v accomplish_v here_o he_o teach_v the_o manner_n of_o his_o corporeal_a birth_n when_o thou_o husband_n shall_v hear_v this_o do_v not_o think_v that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n who_o prescribe_v a_o law_n to_o nature_n and_o when_o he_o come_v to_o joseph_n he_o say_v who_o beget_v christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v afterward_o that_o the_o

the_o nature_n of_o ordinary_a generation_n wherefore_o he_o say_v it_o be_v thus_o that_o he_o may_v expound_v the_o novelty_n of_o that_o kind_n of_o generation_n when_o mary_n his_o mother_n be_v

christ_n again_o mary_n do_v not_o conceive_v before_o the_o espousal_n that_o the_o matter_n may_v be_v conceal_v from_o the_o jew_n and_o that_o the_o virgin_n herself_o may_v be_v free_a from_o punishment_n that_o under_o the_o name_n of_o a_o bind_a husband_n she_o may_v not_o be_v stone_v as_o a_o whore_n and_o because_o the_o genealogy_n be_v not_o write_v in_o the_o name_n of_o woman_n therefore_o she_o assume_v the_o name_n of_o a_o spouse_n before_o they_o come_v together_o he_o say_v that_o she_o be_v find_v to_o have_v conceive_v but_o not_o before_o her_o come_n to_o his_o

so_o the_o virgin_n dwell_v with_o joseph_n in_o his_o house_n for_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n for_o woman_n betroth_v to_o dwell_v with_o their_o husband_n for_o the_o space_n of_o three_o year_n and_o afterward_o they_o come_v together_o to_o show_v thereby_o that_o they_o come_v together_o not_o as_o overcome_v of_o lust_n but_o for_o the_o procreation_n of_o child_n who_o repute_v they_o as_o the_o reward_n wage_n and_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n she_o have_v need_v of_o a_o betroth_a husband_n that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o help_n and_o protection_n to_o she_o from_o the_o jew_n who_o observe_v she_o to_o be_v with_o child_n may_v have_v think_v she_o to_o be_v with_o child_n by_o her_o repute_a husband_n and_o so_o forbear_v to_o stone_n she_o and_o that_o he_o may_v flee_v away_o with_o she_o when_o herod_n design_v to_o destroy_v the_o child_n and_o that_o the_o virgin_n may_v not_o suffer_v disgrace_n for_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n for_o a_o woman_n to_o remain_v without_o a_o husband_n among_o the_o jew_n as_o say_v isaiah_n only_o let_v we_o be_v call_v by_o thy_o name_n moreover_o whoever_o be_v a_o votary_n among_o the_o jew_n be_v unmarried_a and_o the_o virgin_n be_v a_o votary_n espouse_v joseph_n be_v well_o strike_v in_o year_n that_o no_o thought_n may_v arise_v against_o she_o like_v to_o the_o common_a desire_n of_o a_o husband_n among_o woman_n and_o it_o be_v manifest_a from_o hence_o that_o joshua_n the_o son_n of_o nun_n who_o be_v a_o votary_n do_v not_o redeem_v himself_o for_o a_o price_n and_o therefore_o take_v no_o wife_n but_o to_o what_o

not_o accuse_v as_o one_o who_o have_v violate_v his_o vow_n to_o god_n for_o joseph_n be_v not_o far_o from_o association_n she_o be_v find_v to_o have_v conceive_v that_o be_v to_o say_v she_o appear_v to_o joseph_n to_o have_v conceive_v perhaps_o some_o one_o may_v doubt_v where_o and_o how_o for_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o woman_n to_o conceive_v from_o man_n but_o she_o conceive_v

not_o conceive_v of_o any_o other_o humane_a consociation_n beside_o joseph_n and_o in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o say_v the_o holy_a spirit_n he_o show_v that_o she_o do_v not_o conceive_v of_o a_o ordinary_a or_o accidental_a spirit_n for_o sometime_o woman_n conceive_v certain_a kind_n of_o accidental_a wind_n as_o say_v isaiah_n they_o conceive_v and_o bring_v forth_o as_o they_o who_o bring_v forth_o wind_n the_o word_n from_o be_v say_v in_o many_o sense_n natural_o as_o the_o beam_n be_v say_v to_o be_v from_o the_o sun_n by_o way_n of_o generation_n of_o what_o be_v generate_v as_o the_o son_n from_o the_o father_n eternal_o efficient_o as_o a_o stool_n from_o a_o joiner_n by_o way_n of_o creation_n as_o the_o creature_n from_o the_o creator_n and_o other_o way_n but_o here_o the_o word_n from_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v take_v efficient_o for_o the_o body_n be_v frame_v and_o make_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o so_o the_o word_n be_v unite_v thereunto_o and_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o spirit_n of_o omnipotent_a power_n who_o from_o the_o beginning_n frame_v the_o first_o man_n of_o earth_n without_o copulation_n and_o take_v

with_o the_o word_n this_o holy_a body_n and_o that_o he_o may_v receive_v it_o first_o joseph_n be_v a_o just_a man_n and_o unwilling_a to_o put_v she_o to_o shame_n it_o be_v therefore_o here_o call_v justice_n not_o to_o defame_v or_o disgrace_v a_o man_n and_o he_o who_o have_v one_o species_n of_o justice_n be_v just_o say_v to_o be_v just_a and_o here_o he_o do_v not_o call_v just_a one_o that_o be_v adorn_v with_o all_o virtue_n and_o behold_v justice_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n which_o say_v thy_o hand_n shall_v be_v first_o upon_o she_o he_o know_v that_o either_o she_o be_v innocent_a

and_o the_o like_a reason_n he_o dare_v not_o approach_v unto_o she_o it_o be_v also_o certain_a from_o hence_o that_o our_o lord_n in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o passion_n commend_v she_o to_o his_o disciple_n as_o a_o single_a woman_n other_o say_v that_o the_o word_n have_v a_o twofold_a signification_n for_o first_o it_o signify_v the_o knowledge_n of_o carnal_a copulation_n as_o adam_n know_v his_o wife_n eve_n 2_o it_o be_v take_v for_o knowledge_n proper_o so_o call_v according_a to_o this_o second_o sense_n it_o be_v say_v in_o word_n of_o the_o same_o derivation_n and_o there_o be_v none_o who_o know_v i_o according_a unto_o that_o of_o simon_n to_o our_o lord_n thou_o know_v and_o we_o say_v that_o this_o which_o the_o evangelist_n say_v he_o know_v she_o not_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v he_o know_v not_o that_o she_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o god_n until_o she_o have_v bring_v forth_o her_o son_n and_o he_o have_v see_v the_o miracle_n of_o the_o angel_n and_o of_o the_o shepherd_n and_o of_o the_o star_n and_o of_o the_o wise_a men._n that_o she_o remain_v a_o virgin_n after_o she_o bring_v forth_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o common_a opinion_n of_o man_n for_o as_o god_n be_v bear_v of_o she_o be_v not_o change_v so_o the_o virginity_n of_o she_o who_o bear_v he_o be_v not_o lose_v for_o she_o be_v not_o corrupt_v for_o the_o scripture_n call_v she_o the_o undefiled_a in_o marriage_n and_o zachary_n in_o the_o temple_n rank_v she_o with_o the_o virgin_n the_o heretic_n say_v if_o he_o do_v not_o dissolve_v virginity_n neither_o do_v he_o assume_v a_o body_n and_o if_o he_o do_v assume_v a_o body_n therefore_o do_v he_o dissolve_v virginity_n in_o his_o exit_fw-la and_o we_o answer_v that_o if_o god_n confirm_v the_o mother_n of_o god_n a_o virgin_n so_o that_o she_o remain_v in_o virginity_n after_o bring_v forth_o it_o be_v also_o a_o miracle_n that_o she_o be_v a_o virgin_n do_v bring_v forth_o and_o if_o thou_o require_v proof_n or_o illustration_n hear_v how_o he_o come_v forth_o of_o the_o sepulchre_n unopened_a and_o enter_v into_o the_o parlour_n be_v shut_v up_o so_o he_o come_v forth_o of_o the_o womb_n not_o prejudice_v virginity_n furthermore_o that_o a_o body_n penetrate_v a_o body_n without_o any_o open_a passage_n we_o have_v show_v many_o way_n as_o eve_n come_v out_o of_o the_o side_n of_o adam_n the_o water_n which_o flow_v from_o the_o rock_n the_o water_n which_o spring_v from_o the_o jawbone_n of_o a_o ass_n how_o much_o rather_o than_o do_v he_o who_o be_v incorporeal_a come_v forth_o in_o his_o birth_n from_o the_o virgin_n without_o corrupt_v of_o her_o virginity_n her_o first-born_a son_n not_o that_o she_o bring_v forth_o any_o one_o after_o he_o but_o he_o be_v call_v the_o first-born_a because_o he_o be_v first_o in_o generation_n for_o the_o scripture_n be_v use_v to_o call_v he_o the_o first-born_a who_o open_v the_o womb_n according_a to_o that_o every_o one_o who_o open_v the_o womb_n shall_v be_v call_v holy_a the_o scripture_n call_v one_o the_o first-born_a before_o he_o have_v brethren_n so_o our_o saviour_n although_o jose_n and_o james_n and_o other_o be_v call_v his_o brethren_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o call_v so_o as_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n but_o because_o they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o joseph_n by_o another_o wife_n and_o they_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o dispensation_n call_v his_o brethren_n as_o joseph_n be_v call_v his_o father_n and_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v first_o bear_v four_o several_a way_n first_o as_o say_v saint_n matthew_n by_o open_v the_o womb_n and_o he_o do_v not_o call_v he_o her_o first_o bear_v only_o for_o he_o be_v not_o only_o the_o first_o bear_v of_o mary_n but_o of_o all_o creature_n second_o first_o bear_v of_o the_o whole_a creation_n for_o he_o be_v first_o bear_v by_o nature_n because_o all_o creature_n be_v make_v by_o he_o three_o the_o first_o bear_v of_o many_o brethren_n because_o he_o have_v many_o brethren_n from_o baptism_n that_o be_v to_o say_v regeneration_n four_o the_o first_o bear_v from_o the_o dead_a because_o he_o be_v the_o first_o who_o arise_v to_o immortality_n and_o she_o call_v his_o name_n jesus_n that_o be_v to_o say_v redeemer_n as_o say_v the_o angel_n in_o the_o greek_a it_o be_v in_o the_o masculine_a gender_n as_o if_o joseph_n call_v he_o so_o we_o have_v already_o show_v that_o it_o be_v the_o part_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o mo●●er_n to_o impose_v name_n on_o their_o child_n he_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n and_o not_o of_o a_o marry_a wife_n by_o marriage_n consummate_v that_o it_o may_v be_v know_v that_o god_n be_v make_v man_n and_o not_o mere_a man_n deify_v for_o to_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n be_v

of_o a_o virgin_n who_o keep_v her_o virginity_n for_o that_o he_o accomplish_v promise_n and_o prophecy_n moreover_o for_o that_o he_o revive_v man_n from_o their_o sin_n for_o that_o he_o get_v a_o
