the_o angel_n she_o wonder_v what_o shall_v move_v god_n to_o send_v one_o of_o the_o seven_o spirit_n that_o attend_v upon_o his_o throne_n to_o visit_v she_o she_o wonder_v what_o shall_v incline_v he_o to_o honour_v she_o so_o much_o and_o why_o the_o angel_n shall_v speak_v unto_o she_o as_o unto_o a_o holy_a person_n and_o the_o favourite_n of_o heaven_n she_o have_v a_o great_a sense_n of_o her_o humane_a imperfection_n and_o infirmity_n than_o of_o her_o virtue_n and_o in_o so_o mean_a and_o humble_a a_o opinion_n of_o herself_o can_v not_o imagine_v why_o she_o shall_v be_v bless_v and_o praise_v above_o those_o of_o she_o own_o sex_n so_o also_o in_o she_o magnificat_fw-la which_o she_o deliver_v upon_o the_o salutation_n of_o her_o cousin_n elizabeth_n she_o admire_v and_o adore_v the_o infinite_a condescension_n of_o god_n to_o her_o low_a estate_n and_o true_o the_o signal_n honour_n which_o god_n do_v she_o in_o choose_v she_o for_o the_o mother_n of_o his_o son_n be_v a_o argument_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n that_o she_o be_v lowly_a in_o mind_n as_o well_o as_o low_o in_o fortune_n for_o god_n resist_v the_o proud_a but_o he_o give_v grace_n which_o be_v a_o hebrew_n phrase_n for_o show_v favour_n unto_o the_o lowly_a say_v solomon_n prov._n 3.34_o and_o say_v the_o prophet_n isaiah_n 57.15_o thus_o say_v the_o high_a and_o lofty_a one_o that_o inhabit_v eternity_n who_o name_n be_v holy_a i_o dwell_v in_o the_o high_a and_o holy_a place_n with_o he_o also_o that_o be_v of_o a_o contrite_a and_o humble_a spirit_n to_o revive_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o humble_a and_o to_o revive_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o contrite_a one_o and_o this_o be_v the_o usual_a method_n of_o god_n proceed_v with_o the_o son_n of_o man_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o virgin_n mary_n be_v a_o very_a meek_a and_o humble_a maid_n because_o god_n exalt_v she_o above_o her_o fellow_n the_o three_o eminent_a grace_n which_o we_o find_v in_o the_o bless_a

as_o though_o they_o be_v in_o like_a manner_n the_o bless_a virgin_n after_o the_o angel_n have_v tell_v she_o that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o high_a shall_v come_v upon_o she_o stagger_v not_o at_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n through_o unbelief_n but_o be_v strong_a in_o faith_n be_v full_o persuade_v that_o what_o he_o have_v promise_v he_o be_v able_a to_o perform_v she_o know_v that_o he_o

that_o sarah_n herself_o receive_v strength_n to_o conceive_v isaac_n when_o she_o be_v past_o age_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n strike_v he_o with_o dumbness_n because_o he_o believe_v not_o his_o
